But it’s all part of their day job. Tammie Baird is Hollywood’s go-to stuntwoman for car hits. She’s appeared in Fast & Furious, Chris Brown’s Next 2 You music video, and NCIS: LA. She’s been smashed into windshields, bounced off bonnets and slammed into the tarmac – more often than not wearing a tight dress and heels. When Baird got her first role, in Mr & Mrs Smith, she went shopping for stunt gear “like a guy”. “I bought the biggest, bulkiest pads, and thought, ‘Yeah, I’m protected, nothing’s gonna get me.’ Then I saw my wardrobe – I was wearing a miniskirt.”

Australia has some weird traditions… wearing silly hats to horse races, lying to foreigners about our wildlife, changing Prime Ministers on average once a year, being openly racist on public transport… what are we even doing.
I really want to know if in the year 5000 or whatever archaeologists will dig up anime figures and theorize about them being ancient deities and fertility statues.
