I wonder how we'd be fairing without any stimulus or even half the amount?
With the mining boom kicking back in (almost uninterrupted and infact now exploding in growth) I'd dare to argue we'd still be well ahead of almost all the other advanced economies with little or half the spent amount, less interest to pay and much closer to a budget surplus and being net debt free once again.
And please don't say hind sight is a wonderful thing ... a good few here argued the credentials of a lower stimulus spend.
