Australian Twitter. It's a thing and it's a treasure-trove of commentary, musings and hilarious reactions to the circus that has been 2017 so far.
Between April Fools' Day, Cyclone Debbie, Ex-Cyclone Debbie flooding, Mark Latham's sacking (and ensuing Twitter-return) and 18C finally being taken out the back and metaphorically shot -- like the rabid-infested pest it has been on the Australian political agenda for the past three years -- it was a rather big week. And as usual, Australian Twitter made sure to keep in-step with the mad, bad and stupid goings-on.
Here, in no particular order, is a round-up of our favourite home-grown tweets from the past week.

Every season of #mkr needs a Josh. Yes he's a twit. Yes he's a little slow. Yes he's mean spirited. Now I've forgotten what I was saying

Not sure whether being on an obscure, viewerless Sky show called Outsiders makes you more or less of an outsider than being sacked from it

(Okay so there were a lot of tweets about Mark Latham's sacking)
The week also featured the always regular, always welcome Australian Twitter topic of dogs too. Including one Very Good Dog whose post-surgery photo generated so much interest he had to hire bodyguards.
