From the bbc website:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The roads minister of Victoria in Australia: Tim Pallas has used strong language to criticise Lewis Hamilton after his road car was impounded by Melbourne police.
Mr Pallas criticised the 25-year-old British racing driver on the day that Victoria launched a
"Don't Be a Dickhead" road safety campaign.
Asked whether Lewis Hamilton met that description, he said: "OK, I'll say it. He's a dickhead."
But Australian driver Mark Webber has defended his fellow competitor, saying his homeland had become a nanny state, with ridiculous parking and speeding rules.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8592317.stmDon't you just love the direct Australian approach...can't really imagine any UK minister doing the same.
PS. In case you don't know Lewis was charged with 'improper use of a motor-vehicle' - I wonder what the criteria are for that?
