August 2016: Australia’s national census night fails after authorities report the website is receiving a sophisticated DDOS attack that has taken it offline.
It was later revealed that the so called “attack” was actually just the entire population of Australia attempting to complete the census.
March 2022: The Prime Minister's department decides to rebrand their Women's Network diversity program, following a number of accusations of sexism in parliament.
However, the new logo did little to silence critics, and was hastily scrapped by the Prime Minister's department the next day.
July 2021: Prime Minister Scott Morrison uses a radio appearance to announce, unprompted, that he had not soiled himself at a Sydney McDonalds in 1997.
The denial followed months of circulating rumours about the event across the press and social media, which had seen the location of the restaurant 'Engadine' become shorthand for the Prime Minister.
The event was commemorated by a plaque installed outside the infamous "Engadine Maccas", which quickly became a tourist drawcard.
The restaurant was once again in the headlines in 2022, after hundreds of revellers turned up to celebrate Scott Morrison's loss in the federal election, with 15,000 pledging to attend on Facebook.
