Singers, senators, shark and sports were the topics that got the 15 million Australians who regularly use Facebook sharing in 2016, as well as the gaming sensation Pokemon Go.

Politics were a point of discussion on Facebook and Twitter this year, with Brexit making waves on the social media platforms and conversation around the US election outweighing Malcom Turnbull chatter.
