Witness of the month
It is with great pleasure that the staff of 'Community News' announce OUR first ever WITNESS OF THE MONTH AWARD... and the winner will come as no surprise.
Australian Steemepreneur and blockchainthropist 
Ausbitbank (Adam) seems to be online 24/7 - rain, hail or shine, there to assist all and always ensuring that the steem is being distributed equitably within the system. Selfless. Tireless. No task is too big, no query too small.
He's got bots and nodes; and, he is surprisingly well endowed with bandwidth.
His systems rarely make a mistake and he is always quick with an update. (Which we might add, he refuses payment for).
Adam's only flaw... his humility.
He will not ask for your witness vote out of sheer politeness.
But here at Steemit's number 1 'Community News' blog - we will. Please visit Adam - and if you like what you see - go to...

I and give him a WITNESS VOTE. He is currently number 27 (but will always be number 1 in our eyes).
Team Australia Referendum
The results of the Team Australia Referendum are now official after 4 days of counting. Team Australia's very own Secretary SirKnight explains:
"Crikey mate, when it comes to counting referendum votes you can never be to careful. We get all sorts of votes here in Oz - you've got full preferentials, optional preferentials, above the lines, below the lines, hare-clarks, donkeys, protests, out-of-area's and postals."
He continued... "But after counting and recounting the votes from the recent referendum to change Clause 1, I can state in full confidence that the results were:
YES - 100%
NO - 0%
"On 'Bradman's statue in Bowral' I swear that even the Steemit Cheetah Bot popped in to vote 'YES'."
