Canberra is embroiled in yet another leadership debacle and we could have a new Prime Minister before the end of the week. A new Prime Minister could mean an early election and so now's the time to see if you're enrolled to vote.

Earlier this week, a teenager working in Canberra was fired from her job for posting that she will vote No in the same sex marriage survey. And I've had a number of people tell me, on condition of anonymity and through their social media accounts, that their employers are pushing a strong view on how staff should vote.

Putting aside the obvious emotion regarding the same sex marriage postal vote, should employers be allowed to coerce you to vote in a particular way or fire you for your views?

If you look at social media a lot, as I do, you might be startled by how many people were... unbothered by Nazis and white supremacists marching in Charlottesville two weeks ago. In the days after the clashes in Virginia that led to the killing of Heather Heyer and the beating of DeAndre Harris, a good number of people popped up in my social media feeds, countering that "Antifa" and Black Lives Matter activists were equally as violent as the Nazis and white supremacists who came to a "peaceful" rally armed with semi-automatic weapons.

Yes, 2016 was full of some awful news. Let's not forget all the good stuff that happened in 2016, though. Can't think of anything? This website will jog your memory.

I waited until my seven-year-old was done with his breakfast to break the news. "Do you remember the election was yesterday?" I asked. "Yeah? Who won?" he said. I had to tell him: Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is currently ahead in US electoral votes. The popular vote stands at 24,596,386 votes for Trump (48.9%), 23,497,293 for Clinton (47.%). Watch Google's live count on the US presidential election here.

Against the odds, Donald Trump has snatched an unlikely victory in key swing states and has been declared the new leader of the free world. Or: Hilary Clinton has comfortably won the US election - just as all the polls predicted. Or: The result of the US election is too close to call and a recount in Florida/New Hampshire/Pennsylvania is likely.

Today, only one of these statements will prove to be true. You can find out which one by watching the live stream right here.

On Wednesday, the US election winner will finally be declared and there will be a new president. Will it be Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton or the Republican Party's Donald Trump? The outcome could have a lasting consequence on the Australian economy - so it's important to pay attention. Here's how to watch the election results as they trickle in from each US state and when you can expect to know who won the presidency.

Labor’s policy for the National Broadband Network released Monday commits the party – if elected – to move away from the Coalition’s fibre to the node (FTTN) network and transition back to a roll-out of fibre to the premises (FTTP). This was the central pillar of Labor’s original NBN. So how does this compare with the Coalition's version of the NBN?
