The biggest political issue on Facebook for Australians this year was GST, followed by asylum seekers, NBN, gay marriage and immigration.

During the election campaign there were more than 12 million election-related mentions with more than one million posts on election day in Australia.

Big Brother ruled the entertainment buzz on Facebook, followed by The Voice, One Direction, Breaking Bad and Beyonce.

Where global life events were concerned, 'added a relationship', 'got engaged' or 'got married' ruled Facebook in 2013.

Next in line for global life events were travelled, moved, ended a relationship, first met a friend, added a family member/expecting or had a baby, got a pet, lost a loved one, got a piercing and quit a habit.
