Beginning answer to a question with:
‘So’
‘Yeah I mean’
Littering your answers with ‘You know’
‘Lessons will be learnt’ which invariably means the opposite.
“Thoughts and prayers”
Surely the most vacuous of offerings and of little comfort to any recipients.

Thank goodness Gladys Berejiklian has gone; if she said “Please know…” again I think I would have strangled her myself.

I had to Google her ex Premier of New South Wales folks. 
A favourite with our politicians is ‘committed to’ which actually means we are doing nothing.

“Let me be clear” or “Let me be perfectly clear” is a favourite phrase of the politicians here. Makes me laugh, as they are anything but!

‘Narrative’
This word confuses the hell out of me as it seems to be used in all sorts of contexts.

73’s. It is a radio term & should be 73. And it is a term used at the end of almost all communications, be it morse, spoken or written.
Back in the mid 1800’s. The Weston Union had the 92 code, which abrreviated commonly used terms in telegraths to numbers, making it quicker & easier to tap a message out in morse. 73 was Best Regards & it still is. But some really irritaing radio amateurs, chose to say, write 73’s. So best Wishes’s. Or even worse Best 73’s. Best, Best Wishes’s. 
I am told the term 73’s was CB speak.
