Early reading. We have captured 4 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 1.3K interactions against 555K followers, an engagement rate of 0.233%. Posts are seen about 22K times each, and 5.84% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.99% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video and 75% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 2.5x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #abcnews, #debate, #immigration. Only 4 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,880 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 22:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 22:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video75% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link75% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 75% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 75% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 928 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    A big thank you to the New South Wales police for their strong actions last night. It's about time the police took control of the streets from intimidatory protesters. Well done premier Chris Minns for showing the strength needed against the kind of pro-terrorist protests we've seen too often. As the chants showed, these ratbags are against Australia as much as they’re against Israel.

    For years, the leftist mindset has seen Jews as possessors of “white privilege” and Israel as an exemplar of “settler colonialism” and therefore as “oppressors” – hence the absurdity of “Queers for Palestine” and the insistence, even from ministers in the Albanese government, that October 7 should be seen “in context”. What else can explain the government’s increasingly harsh denunciations of Israel, its alacrity in issuing visas to largely unvetted people from Gaza, its secret repatriation of “ISIS brides”, and its recognition of Palestine in a massive concession to the “river to the sea” protesters? The basic problem with the Albanese government is the leftist instincts that constantly distort its moral lens. Read my full article here: https://t.co/PTvUbatWyf

    As we mourn those who lost their lives on Sunday, there’s also a reckoning that must take place. There’s been a colossal failure to crush the Jew hatred that’s festered in Australia over the past two years and to stamp out the radical Islamist ideology that’s allowed it to spread. We must stop importing these ideologies and the people who live by them into Australia. They are at odds with Australia’s core Anglo-Celtic culture and fundamental Judeo-Christian ethos, which has made us one of the most free, fair and safe societies in the world.

    Very disappointed at the High Court’s refusal to hear Sall Grover’s appeal. Of course there are only two genders and of course you can’t buck biology. And no one should be in legal trouble for stating the obvious.

    If, as seems likely, the Ayatollahs’ Islamist regime is at an end, Bibi Netanyahu and Donald Trump have done the world a great favour. May this be a new beginning for the long suffering people of Iran - and for a world that has lived under the threat of apocalyptic Islamism.

    Under AUKUS, Australian sailors are embedded on US submarines to learn how to crew nuclear-powered subs. So when the USS Charlotte torpedoed an Iranian frigate, you'd expect our personnel to be at their stations. Instead, our government ordered them to their bunks. Our people were little more than submarine tourists. This government suffers from a kind of practical pacifism, where the only circumstances our armed forces might conceivably be permitted to fire a shot in anger is at an enemy actually bombing Darwin. At some point, the US president who's supposed to give Australia up to five Virginia class nuclear powered submarines is going to ask why he should divert firepower to a country that won't use it. Could a country that benches personnel already embarked on a US sub ever be trusted to be at America's side when it really counts?

    Congratulations to Narendra Modi on becoming India’s longest serving PM. He hasn’t just held office, he’s dramatically improved his country, with more infrastructure, better IT, and practical things like power and sanitation extended to remote villages. Under Modi, India has become the world’s third superpower while maintaining free elections, a riotously free media and a robustly independent judiciary. But for him, and the late Shinzo Abe, there would be no Quad so the entire free world owes him a debt of gratitude.

    The Bondi massacre was preceded by two years of governmental failure to deal with unAustralian Jew hatred and complacency towards Islamic extremism. Now the moral failure of the Labor government has been compounded by the political failure of the Coalition. When a palpably inadequate government faces an opposition seemingly in deep crisis our country is in trouble. Good very rarely comes from laws that are revised on the run, and passed in haste with who knows what unintended consequences.

    Especially today, my instinctive sympathy remains with all of our special forces soldiers from the Afghanistan campaign, fighting at our country’s command against a merciless enemy, often under highly restrictive rules of engagement that meant known terrorists were captured and released many times. As prime minister during multiple deployments, and having spent time with our troops in war-zones, I could not have asked for a more loyal and professional military and my respect for their service is undiminished. Of course, there are rules that have to be observed and enforced, even against soldiers in times of war. Still, it’s wrong to judge the actions of men in mortal combat by the standards of ordinary civilian life. If Ben Roberts-Smith transgressed, why wasn’t this picked up prior to his gallantry awards and why wasn’t any culture of brutality towards prisoners detected by his more senior officers, and dealt with quickly, rather than being allowed to fester, as has been alleged, for over a decade? The Brereton investigation commenced in 2016 and only concluded in 2020. The first war crime charge against a former special forces soldier was only laid in 2023 and three years later, this has still not been finalised. After doing their best to serve our country, dozens of former special forces soldiers should not still be in limbo years later because of ongoing investigations that have only resulted in charges in two cases. Justice delayed is justice denied. If evidence is clear, and cases are strong, they should be brought and concluded without delay. Otherwise, people should be cleared to get on with their lives lest the process itself become the punishment. In Afghanistan, our soldiers fought bravely and well for a just cause. I am very sorry that some of them have been subjected to a form of persecution by the country they served.
