Australian trends revolve around the AFL, NRL, and cricket Tests against England and India. ABC programming, federal politics from Canberra, and the weather (especially during bushfire and storm seasons) consistently make the top 10. Australia is on a time zone that picks up trends ahead of US mornings, so it's a useful early signal for global English-language Twitter activity.
The list above is X's own trends feed for Australia, refreshed roughly every 15 minutes. We don't curate or reorder. X computes trends from the rate of new posts mentioning each topic, normalized for the size of the location, so a trend specific to Australia can rank above one that's larger globally.
For posts aimed at a Australia audience, this list is usually a better starting point than the worldwide trends. Local sports, politics, and TV releases drive the Australia trend list in a way they rarely reach the global feed.
Twitter trends are the topics, hashtags, and phrases being discussed most on X (formerly Twitter) right now. X surfaces a ranked list of trends per location based on the volume and velocity of recent posts. The list rewards conversations that spike quickly, not just topics with sustained chatter, which is why trends turn over within hours rather than days.
