a $10.4 billion failure, page-18

But Cougar the problem is things are slowing down REAL quick. The Commonwealth reserve bank aren't smashing down the cash rate for no reason and Stevens is hinting at another one before Christmas.

I however agree that a proportion would be wasted and this could have been prevented.

With Costello's $3000 bay bonus people were spending it on plasmas etc.

In regards to Rudd's economic stimulus plan, yes some will waste it or bank it which defeats the policies goal.

Point being made is. What the hell is wrong with vouchers???
