Peter Cundall became a Member of the Order of Australia for services to conservation, Stephen Bradbury (THAT speed skater) became an OAM, and Tim Flannery is Australian of the year. And he put one up John Howard in his acceptance speech. Winner.
And the police officer implicated in the death of Mulrunji Doomadge on Palm Island in 2004 will be charged.

P.S. Bob Brown was visiting Palm Island when the Street Report was released.
