@auspol_posts
A bot that tracks the engagement of Australian federal politicians on Facebook, to measure which posts and politicians are generating the largest conversations on that platform.
Facebook does not publish traffic data to pages or posts, so we use interaction data to assess the size of conversations generated by each post. Each comment, share, or react (like, love, wow, angry, sad, haha, care) is counted as one interaction and all interactions are treated of equal value.
Each day at around midday the bot gathers post data for all Facebook posts published by a federal member of parliament on the previous calendar day (AEDT). This data is drawn from CrowdTangle.
It then ranks each post in order of interactions and tweets the list of top posts, a link to the highest ranked post, and a summary of how what share of interactions the top politicians have generated, of all reactions by all politicians on that day.
List of pages being monitored
The below table shows all Facebook pages being monitored by @auspol_posts. Note that not all MPs and Senators have public Facebook pages.
If you spot any omissions or errors (including if a politician has changed the details of their account), please email me via the box on the right of this page.
Politicians without Facebook pages as of last update: Senator Ralph Babet (UAP, Victoria), Senator Linda White (ALP, Victoria)
Politicians we are prevented from tracking in Crowdtangle: Mark Dreyfus MP (ALP, Victoria), Angie Bell (LNP, QLD), Shayne Neumann (ALP, QLD)
Politicians we are unable to track in Crowdtangle for unknown reasons: Senator Alex Antic (Liberal, SA)
