Dacata - you're spot on mate! The introduction of the current stimulus package (at least in its current form and size) will inhibit the economy from bouncing back sooner and stronger. Unfortunately this package is only going to artificial pump up the economy to buy time. Surely, many of you guys must realise that Australia is dependent to a large extent on it's commodity exports, and global economic corrections whatever severity are healthy for purging the system of inefficiencies, poor business practices, toxic debts, overinflated house prices, and so forth.
A natural economic correction is required, so let it happen for God and Australia's sake!
