Matthias Cormann?? Finance Minister whose attempt to brutally harm the poor in the 2013 budget was so extreme it couldn't get through the parliament? Campaigner against marriage equality and action on climate change? He gets the highest honour? The Australia Day awards are a cozy farce.

Now that I’ve considered it in detail, I think the rumoured #F1 trick to achieve cylinder compression greater than 16:1 is clever, but a cheat designed to overcome the stated FIA test.
Toyota was disqualified for trying a similar trick regarding fuel in WRC.

I saw an interview from with ex-prisoner USA claiming that ICE is recruiting prisoners transitioning out of prison.
Given the behaviour of ICE agents it’s quite a believable claim.

So I passed a Lamborghini today, dark blue, driven by balding fellow at the speed limit; the engine was clearly in standard mode, not “look at me” loud mode.
Instead acting like cocaine-fuelled wanker, he appeared to be a sensible and responsible driver.
Respect.✊

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

I think it’s time for Australia to pull out of all military agreements with overseas countries and form a mutual defence packed with New Zealand PNG and Indonesia. Geopolitically would make the most sense.
