21:45 All right. Who unfollowed me to bring my total back to 999? You know who you are... #
19:55 I just accidentally watched a Jaimee Rodgers TAB Sportsbet ad and the odds quoted were timestamped Wednesday morning?? #
16:57 Congratulations and #ff to @Mobile_Pix, 2 days on the Twitter, 21 tweets and my 1000th follower! Your prize is this tweet :) #
15:36 Oh. RT @BBC_Reith: The 2012 Reith Lectures presented by economic historian Niall Ferguson will broadcast on @BBCRadio4 in June/July. #
15:31 Though I've never really tried hard, I've just reached 1000 followers for the first time. Thank you one and all! #
15:15 Rugby league will only survive if the game is allowed to flourish beyond the confines of the 16 #NRL clubs. Separate #vbnswcup essential. #
15:12 Can't agree with @robbiefarah. Standalone #VBNSWCup does great job now as reserve grade and is vital for the expansion of the game. #
12:21 Yep. RT @ABCthedrum: My criticism of Chris Uhlmann is not that of bias, but of competence, says Paul Keating http://t.co/Br0XSo2H #
09:32 Never mind bikie wars. Is Sydney ready for the North Shore - Inner West border dispute? #

21:50 The legacy of the 2004 Athens Olympics? A lot of white elephants and a lot of debt. http://t.co/ddJ1FRQS via @guardian_sport #London2012 #
21:21 So we can expect the Tony Abbott - Sarah Palin plagiarism scandal to be front page of The Australian tomorrow, yes? #auspol #
19:59 Some very good oratory from Abbott tonight, but the content is utter bollocks. #auspol #budgetreply #theyjustare #
19:57 Wow it took him 26 minutes to get to Slipper and Thomson. Both vital elements of the 2012-13 appropriation bills. #auspol #budgetreply #
19:55 Relevance, Mr Abbott. Focus on the 2012-13 budget please... #auspol #budgetreply #
19:53 Schoolkids learning foreign languages in the 1960s? What, French and Latin? #auspol #budgetreply #
19:52 And how exactly does this speech address the 2012-13 appropriation bills, Mr Abbott? #auspol #budgetreply #
19:50 This is more like a Rant of Reply now. #auspol #budgetreply #theyjustare #
19:46 Excuse me Mr Abbott while I log into the M5 to teleconference with my specialist. #auspol #budgetreply #
19:41 The opposition were against the company tax cuts, correct? #auspol #budgetreply #
19:37 Tony Abbott makes things up. Yet again. #auspol #budgetreply #theyjustare #

20:16 Prime Minister Costello in 2013? Don't dismiss it completely. #auspol #theyjustare #
20:04 Some discussions are best done in a proper chat room @abc730 not the open internets. Good luck. #
20:01 Oh seriously @abc730 you think you're going to be able to run a manageable discussion on Twitter with *that* hashtag? ROFL #
19:57 Hey why not just give Costello the leadership Campbell Newman style? #auspol #abc730 #
19:38 I missed the opening minutes of #abc730... the retired ex-Treasurer is thinking about what??? #auspol #
19:36 Mr Uhlmann, let the Prime Minister finish her sentences please. #abc730 #
19:32 These tabloidy graphical backdrops on #abc730 are very unlike the old 7.30 Report and totally unnecessary. #
18:25 We are us. They just are. #auspol #laborelectionslogan #
18:22 The Liberals. They just are. #auspol #electionslogan #
18:14 Yes. RT @Colvinius: Worth looking at @GeorgeMichael's twitterfeed for an interesting perspective on #Leveson #

17:56 Did I ever say how much I hate seeing good photography ruined by Instagram filters? #
17:47 Facts and figures on carbon "taxes" worldwide that you won't find in any "Tony Abbott Says" report. RT @newmatilda: http://t.co/5M743Ic6 #
17:25 Do it. RT @Queen_UK: Might replace the traditional "My Lords and members of the House of Commons" with "OK, listen up morons" #queensspeech #

15:18 #qldpol #goldcoast2018 #cwg RT @gc2018: New Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Board announced: http://t.co/zdxc9Roa #
14:04 I suppose if I took more interest in showbiz news I could call out more examples of journalism-by-IMDb. #
14:00 This SMH obit says Digby Wolfe hosted 2 episodes of This Is Your Life (as per IMDb) but it was far more than that - http://t.co/WCqpDTFy #
13:43 Digby Wolfe's Friday night variety show on ch7(?) is one of my earliest memories of television. #
13:41 Another legend from Aussie TV's early days is gone. RT @NYTObits: Digby Wolfe, Actor and ‘Laugh-In’ Writer, Dies at 82 http://t.co/cf1SzNpX #
12:43 It may not be a #bacontax but I demand that Tony Abbott condemns the #carbonaratax and promise to rescind it when elected. #budget #auspol #
11:11 Oh @131500trains is giving a completely different reason to the one I heard from station staff. I hope theirs is correct. #
11:03 Apparently #cityrail services on the Bankstown Line have been suspended due to a fatality at Marrickville. #
09:56 Good analysis from CommSec's chief economist. RT @craigjamesOZ: Want an easy read on the Budget? http://t.co/VCQ3Z3nc #
09:49 You think it's just a #bacontax, but it's really a Great Big New #Carbonaratax. #auspol #budget #
09:12 The chances of me following someone on @Pinterest diminish greatly for every cupcake included in their feed. #

19:17 is Being Lara Bingle an Australian remake of Being John Malkovich? #

18:01 Could UEFA be left with no takers to host Euro 2020? RT @WorldSoccerMag: http://t.co/osCbP7pb #

09:08 Looks like #FairGo is the official Budget hashtag from the PM's office. The Twitter reaction is, well, as you'd expect... #auspol #
09:04 Erm, I'm going to *write* a blog post. I wasn't turning "blog post" into a verb. Honest. #
09:02 I'm going to blog post about Instagram this week. Don't let me forget. #
