It was clearly a big year for politics in Australia, with Tony Abbott topping the list of most talked-about topics. This was closely followed by Malcolm Turnbull and the leadership spill, which captured the attention of the nation as the drama spilled over on to live television.

The ANZAC Day 100th anniversary and the Bali Nine executions also made it to the top of the list, as did the war in Syria and the Paris attacks - indicating that many are consuming news directly from their Facebook feeds.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift also made the list of most talked-about topics, but she was beaten by good friend Ed Sheeran, who's currently touring in Australia.

Globally, the focus was on the US Presidential election and the Paris attacks, as well as ISIS and the Syrian conflict.

As for where Australians were most fond of checking in, it looks like Melbourne was the winner this year, in large part because of its sporting prowess. The MCG, Crown Melbourne and Melbourne Zoo all edged ahead of other venues, with Darling Harbour sliding in at number 3.
