21:30 @sportingintel Reading the global salary survey. Is there a reason why NRL teams weren't included? Salary cap last yr $US ~4.3mil per team #
20:31 It's almost time to randle. #abc1 #
20:11 RT @bernietb: Pls RT. #
18:09 think Andy Warhol's Sleep. RT @NickBryantOz: The White House Correspondents' Dinner, as reviewed by Hendrik Hertberg http://t.co/lhFzh5NJ #

15:24 Infrastructure NSW chairman calls for the removal of an important part of #Newcastle's transport infrastructure - http://t.co/3IBcO7jE #
14:57 #nrl RT @SSFCRABBITOHS: Members heard it first but here's the official news regarding the Ben Te'o signing http://t.co/dz8udHd0 #gorabbitohs #
14:47 I seem to have just signed up to @Historypin. As if I don't have enough social media platforms to keep track of... #
14:24 Now that I've studied that @ESPNmag survey more closely I realise only 14 leagues were polled. Was the #NRL not asked? http://t.co/esJjNKY9 #

14:47 Reminds me to ring St George and find out why they've started charging me a $3 service fee every second month. #rba #banks #
14:44 @upulie it's tailored for the "I said he said" so-called balanced journalism #
14:42 @upulie well that's it. Running the country is a bit more time consuming than opposing the running of the country #
14:40 Is that Bill Shorten I hear saying "but it's a week early!" ? #auspol #
14:37 @upulie his office has discovered the power of trolling #
14:36 43 minutes. 11 answers. Could someone just buy him a kindle to read at the airport next time? #
14:33 So let me guess... NAB will raise 0.5, ANZ up 0.4 and Westpac up 0.00998 #auspol #rba #
14:30 @upulie it's not actually backfiring for him because it's so brief and useless. Just makes the tweeps who fall for the bait look stupid #
14:23 Can't see any practical purpose for these ad hoc #asktony sessions except to make him look savvier than Gillard (and maybe Turnbull) #auspol #
14:17 So #asktony lasted for 6 minutes before he vanished? #

21:54 How did I accidentally leave #qanda switched on? Peter Reith is polluting my picture tube. *off* #
20:31 Is that Our Clive on Australian Story next week? #ozstory #
19:32 When is Chris Uhlmann going to interview Clive Palmer? Remember, the record is 24 seconds held by Mal Meninga. #
19:11 International Jazz Day? I thought today was International Day Before May Day Day! #
18:59 For what it's worth I don't genuinely believe there's bias in ABC's political reportage but some of their efforts at balance do seem naive. #
18:56 Coming up next: "Tony Abbott Says" followed by "Hey Hey It's IPA" #
18:04 What Julia Gillard has done wrong as PM, and the things she has gotten right - http://t.co/mAdOMYmk #auspol #

14:51 @BLMacDonaldBVSc kidding about Uhlmann. From memory, Mal just went "oh bugger it can't do this" got up and walked out. Must find the video. #
14:40 Tony Burke's media release announcing the listing of the koala as an endangered species - http://t.co/OD99EEh5 #
14:14 @BLMacDonaldBVSc dunno, Chris doesn't usually show that much emotion #
13:01 What we need now is for Chris Uhlmann to interview Clive Palmer about his political aspirations, as he did with Mal Meninga. #auspol #

16:50 For the benefit of those watching on TV I won't exhale for an hour. #nrlparwst #
16:18 @markMGgeyer the Anzac jerseys are tacky ripoffs. Wouldn't be so bad if Legacy etc got a %age of the replica sales #

18:16 Fascinating. RT @datastore: International land deals: who is investing and where | Claire Provost http://t.co/f2qiaoMM #
17:37 TAbbott claimed in today's #asktony session to be a GWS Giants supporter. Does he even know they played today? #aflgiantsdogs #
17:09 I see there's been another Newtown victory when I wasn't in attendance. #vbnswcup #
13:58 Hmm if TAbbott thinks supporting the GWS Giants will win him votes he needs to practice the team's name first. #
13:08 Hmm no one prior to the early 1970s RT @Bubs_11: If you haven't voted yet get onto it!! http://t.co/gjNvOEHf #
12:44 Nice cheap 11 minute stunt that. RT @TonyAbbottMHR: Flight called. Thanks for the responses, Cheers #asktony #
12:41 #asktony @TonyAbbottMHR Given the choice between a major international summit and an olympic team fundraiser, what would you choose? #
12:36 #asktony Why did you lie to the Australian public yesterday about the state of our diplomatic relations with Indonesia? #
12:35 #asktony When are you going to apologise for your deceitful and distasteful "red light on the hill" remark this morning? #
12:32 Is it time I got myself across this Hunger Game Of Thrones that everyone seems to be talking about? #
12:30 Hmm. #nrlcbyman RT @joegee8: Great win but better that we honoured our anzacs #saluté http://t.co/SFNcpGNf #
11:31 #auspol @TonyAbbottMHR said WHAT?? RT @latikambourke: Tony Abbott - Ben Chifley's party now defending Craig Thomson's red light on the hill. #
10:55 With a lot of wishful thinking, hope neither of them ever become Prime Minister. #
10:53 Still, compare Shorten's mindless loyalty to Tony "Whatever It Is, I'm Against It" Abbott. #auspol #
10:31 also conjures up images of Bill Shorten the Jack Russell on At Home With Julia #
10:27 Just watched the Bill Shorten/Sky News interview (albeit a Libs edited version). Reminds me of a Shorten appearance on #qanda last year. #

20:46 I've just posted to my #LinkedIn rugby league forum about those Manly jumpers - http://t.co/gXYVJtel #nrl #nrlcbyman #
20:09 Sorry @manlyseaeagles but your uniform tonight is a disgraceful exploitation of Anzac Day and everyone at the club should be ashamed. #nrl #
20:07 You too can wear your own Manly camouflage jersey for only $160. If a %age was going to, say, Legacy then I could forgive them. #nrlcbyman #
19:58 complete with RSL badge on the sleeve and Centrebet sponsor's logo on the back. Who approved this offensive rubbish? #nrlcbyman #nrl #
19:56 #nrlcbyman I just found out what the Manly jumpers tonight are about. I am utterly dumbstruck :( http://t.co/8UCy7hFS #
19:52 #nrlcbyman #groan RT @rdhinds: The demon Barba with fleet feet? Sorry. #

18:19 @bernietb It works well if you've 40 minutes to watch a half-hour program :) #
18:09 @bernietb true, but none of those are unmetered on my phone like the Optus Footy Piracy Engine #
17:58 I'll watch it on Optus TV Now.... oh. RT @AndrewBGreene: On #abcnews24 now Government Leader of the House @AlboMP joins Capital Hill #
17:36 So who is tonight's @Lateline guest-tweeter, will they know in advance, and will the German #Lateline tweets be more interesting? #
15:29 Grrr. Optus has been forced to suspend TV Now despite AFL and NRL being a minute proportion of the TV programming available. #
14:24 Are the laws of gravity finally catching up with JB Hi-fi? - http://t.co/mcSaZ8ps #

09:26 Today's Twitter highlight is brought to you by @charltonbrooker live-tweeting a 1977 episode of Top of the Pops. #
