My proven method of dealing with tailgaters just claimed another victim... 
New done up (ss? lookalike?) commodore, sitting on my ass. I didn't notice it there for a while because it was so close to my rear bumper that its headlights were hidden behind mister two's spoiler. So, I politely indicate left, wait three seconds, and move slowly into the left lane.
As Mr Commodore floors it and the auto kicks down, I blip the throttle, into third, and floor it. Mr Shiny New Commodore never got past my A-pillar (until I reached my can-still-drive-if-I-cop-it limit, and hit the brakes). He was also making a hissing sound - I'm guessing aftermarket 'moite fiddy horsepower moite' air filter.
This method, as well as making the other driver feel like a complete dickwad for being beaten by a 17-year-old car, has an additional silver lining: Mr Embarassed Commodore now drives for the next 5 kms at thirty above the speed limit, allowing me to follow at a safe distance and be sure there's no cameras. 
Then I came round a corner (nice and slowly, just near home) and there was a plain clothes cop (in a Patrol?!?!) who'd pulled over another commodore. I win. The end.
