a $10.4 billion failure, page-21

grahod,

agree we need stimulus, just saying there are better ways.

& for the record, baby bonus is not one of my favourites.

vouchers could be a better way, much better than lump sums anyway.


dave,

lol, please explain how i was wrong about the pokies.

i think you're being just a little mischievous dave, i reckon you're smart enough to know lump sums are wrong.

but feel free to take up with Tim Costello if you wish;

--------------------------------------------------------
Anti-pokies campaigner Tim Costello said the loss of handouts to pokie machines was sad for the entire nation.

"What unfortunately happens with people who are lonely, people who have an addiction, that's where that money goes . . . The Government should have realised this is a real risk."

unless you're suggesting Tim doesn't have a clue either.........
