So most of us will receive $950 from the rudd government...
So who's spending that money on modding there rides?
If anyone hasnt seen the news, have a look at these sites: http://ato.gov.au/corporate/content....t/00179313.htm http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/s...54-952,00.html So the question is asked, would you spend the money, or save it for a rainy day?? Cheers Marc

More money for getting a new car back on the road. So they just EFT it into your bank account.
Makes me think of this. Seriously watch it. Lol. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=t_LWQQrpSc4 |

yes the Rudd Government got a bit ahead of themselves this time, announcing it before it was approved by Senate !
I suppose its a clever ( sneaky? ) way of putting pressure on the upper house for it to be passed through. Although I wouldn't say no to the money, I'm not convinced that the government is looking after the finances very well. Giving $$ to people makes them happier and the govnmt's popularity increases, but its a fair guess that as we buy foreign products, a lot of that money will leak out to foreign companies. I think we'll see a heavily modified version of the package before its approved. Followed by the government blaming the opposition for stuffing it up |

i think they need to re-evalute the way they're giving people their money. its not good for our economy to have it spend on consumer goods (most of which will be foriegn made) and run a big budget deficit at the same time. that said i won't say no to $950

I won't say no to the money (although they'll probably find some way not to give me any). But it's bread and circuses for the masses to distract us from something else they don't want us to see.
