Crikey and iSentia chart which politicians are receiving the most media oxygen each week.
Is the public's fascination with Malcolm Turnbull strong, and enduring? At least the public fascination with AC/DC has been long and fruitful.
Steve Fielding finally cracks the Top 20 this year thanks to his sojourn to Christmas Island. And this week it was time for little brother Prince Harry to roll around in the media coverage.
Julia Gillard's fingers are crossed that the 2010 Federal Election is going to be fought on social issues rather than economy or the environment? Tony Abbott certainly won't back away from an ideological fight.
And the very clear winner this week when it comes to media coverage is...well, the monarchy of course! Though Tony Abbott has also been successful at getting the media machine cranking.
Julia Gillard has taken the media spotlight as the PM takes a break. Apart from that, it's been all about the whales in the first Media Monitors' Top 20 list of 2010.
Who were our biggest media hogs this year? Kevin Rudd’s dominance of media coverage was slightly less than last year, even if he did come out on top.
KevinPM finally back to the top as the Copenhagen summit starts looking more like a two week condensation of the climate change debate over the last 12 months in Australia.
Kevin Rudd still second fiddle in volume terms to the Opposition Leader, albeit a different one. Turns out a leadership spill makes you pretty popular in the media.
Malcolm Turnbull may have lost the leadership, but at least he went out with a bang, easily the largest amount of coverage in a single week for any politician all year.
Lotsa movement this week in the Media Monitors' Top 20, and not all of it to do with emissions trading, writes Patrick Baume.
