It's no secret that the conversations we have Gary Eberhart Archiveson Facebook are often different to ones we have on other social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram.
That's evident in Facebook's data about the most-talked about topics in Australia for 2017, with women, sport and music leading the charge.

Second was the Melbourne Cup, a horse racing event that has steadily attracted controversy over the years.
In third was Australia's successful marriage equality vote, followed by the country's flag carrier Qantas -- spurred by discussions over new aircraft and its involvement in the marriage equality debate.
Also in the top five was the death of Chris Cornell, the voice behind Soundgarden and Audioslave, who passed away in May.
Compared to Twitter's year-end data for the country, Facebook discussions skews far more toward tragedy, sport and music -- rather than politics. Here's the rest of the list, for those inclined.
