Its not my place to sit in judgement upon what may be the motivations of others contributing to this comments thread. I can only observe, as in the case of poster Wm Trevor, that if one aspires to attainment of a place amongst the top of the top tweets in any @mentions timeline, one first has to be on Twitter, and then has to park a tweet in an appropriate place where it may attract 'attention'.

I have no idea what it is that makes a tweet 'top' in the first place, nor what makes it, having attained 'top tweet' status, then move forward in the order in which tweets in a timeline are, (dare I say it?), 'placed'. I can only think that it must have something to do with the recording of viewers clicks on links emplaced therein, as compared to other tweets in the same timeline, and/or the award of 'retweets' and 'favourites' by other users.

Without sitting in judgement upon Wm Trevor's willingness to change place names, or descriptors, memorializing events or epochs in Australia's history, I do wonder as to his concern as to the extent that such memorializations, as symbols, matter.

Assuming 'row' to be an adequate substitute (replacement?) for 'terrace', I wonder as to in accord with what protocols it would be decided which ends would be blocked of the respective rows that were formerly terraces, to make them into 'closes' at the onset of the prognosticated republican end-time? Having effected these closures, how would traffic move from Parkes Place East to Parkes Place West across Parkes Place? Or is that the symbolism, one of everything being brought to a halt in the place?

In the real world, at Parkes, NSW, they have named the road leading into the proposed Parkes International Airport in memorialization of a migrant from Poland, who in 1949 was one of the first occupants of that site when used as a migrant hostel, worked therein as a driver, and was last out when the hostel closed in 1952, as Muzyczuk Drive.

In place already!
