would have been smarter for rudd to have injected this money into the economy in tranches
instead, like all other governments, he panicked and shot his wad...well most of it...still has another 10 bill to play with
there will be plenty of rorting associated with "first home owners" grants. my understanding is if you are building a new place you get the dough regardless
how many pensioners will spend what they get?
either way, the beneficial effects of this largesse will be spent within 3-6 months...then what?
i have little confidence in rudd/swan ability to manage australia's economy.
