At the end of the day any one can say its a bad idea or trying to buy votes but what else is there, have the government keep the money to them selves and see how far we slide, any one who was trying to get a job in the midst of the last recession would know that we dont want to go there again, as much as this does not seem like a perfect plan there is'nt many other options apart from letting the economy slide into a recession and then trying to come back from it, im a big believer in the theory "prevention is better than the cure".

I dont think its aimed at the unemployed, the whole idea is for people to spend it on goods and services, therefore keeping business's trading, keeping people in jobs and maybe even create enough work to make new jobs, which is also the aim of all the new projects the government is doing now, this is more about keeping the economy from sliding into a recession and maybe even spark some growth so that people who have lost there jobs can find new ones.

Obviously it's not aimed at the long-term unemployed as they wouldn't need to do a tax return, which is one of the requirements of the handout. But as you can see by the above repsonses as to what people will spend the money on (savings, buying parts from overseas) then I'd suggest less than 50% of the money will make it into the Aussie economy, and of that it will appear as a momentary blip, and won't create any long-term jobs.

I doubt anyone would say we don't need the government to provide some form of economic stimulus, the debate is about the makeup of the stimulus package.

if you really want to "do your bit" spend this money on a SERVICE, and i don't mean a car service (although it could be that), i mean when you talk about goods and services, spend the money on a what would be classified as a service. This means the money circulates in the economy longer, and considering how much stuff we buy is from o.s., keeps the money in Australia for longer as well.

I recommend perhaps taking the car for a bit of a spruce up to Damian @ Final Inspection for a thorough detail, or maybe get that 100K km service you've been meaning to do. Won't cover it completely, but will go a long way to doing so.

Yes, the make-up of the package was wrong (IMO) but we can't do anything about it now, it's passed. So we just have to try and spend in the best way possible. Normally i'm a save, save save guy but i will spend this $900, and on a service. I have a feeling it will be going to my interior... hello local trimmers :D

Your 100% right, it's passed so let's hope the majority of people spend it on things that will benefit the australian economy and not just send it straight overseas. Australian services like brothels are something we should all support :(

what happens if the brothels contains illegal asian workers? do we stay clear of those ones? i would like to do my part in boosting the Australian economy even if that means restricting myself to certain brothels. We all have to make sacrifices. :D

You have a valid concern, as the illegal asian sex workers are likely to send all the money back to there familys overseas. I recommend the government certifies brothels as "100% Australians Whores", so we know our money is going striaght back into our economy :D

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
