Well I think that performance was disrespectful, fancy singing a song about Thrift Shops when Myer & David Jones are struggling! ? #NRLGF

Macklemore's song was so moving. First time I've cried in response to an artist I'd never heard of a week ago. #marriagequality

Here's my bit of free speech – @macklemore was great and I hope the precious snowflakes who wanted him censored survived those sweet tunes ?
