i dont know anyone that got that $900 giveaway. criteria was pretty strict, non?

I got it at the time I think

[Birds]

amazing nobody was up in arms when they got their free $900 bucks for nothin

I was, cause I saw this coming in a few years and knew we would pay for it. Meanwhile idiots screaming at the budget on their TVs that they bought with the $900...

[Birds]

Had a lot of fun prank calling people at the time, pretending to be from "the government" and asking how they wanted their stimulation package from Kevin Rudd delivered...telling them we usually just get you to bend over and take it.

[blah_blah]

I got the $900

You're too baller Alex, soon you'll be paying the 2% deficit tax

[Birds]

eh power lifting not for me

spartans 365 a year too which is pretty awesome compared to the 695 bs genesis wanted on renewal I believe.

Powerlifting for everyone, most decent bodybuilders start off with it brah

Also I bet if you're going 4 times a week that extra 5-10 minutes of driving makes up more than the $330 in fuel a year!

Yeah same birds I was furious at the time at such stupidity and waste

And nah tony got my accountant to keep things in check

[HEKT1K]

Used my stimulus money to buy rims, allowing Terry to fund his N1. You're welcome

[Birds]

Don't buy drugs

Buy some rims!

Unless you run a corporation or trust. There's not much for him to keep in check

Your salary as an employee is what it is (inb4negativegearing)

Not an employee as such and mad deductions with my job which is more so where works out well still pay too much tax IMO

[HEKT1K]

Hahaha love it

[Odium]

I got it... can't remember if I did anything special with it... Probably car parts and coke and hookers as normal.

Everyone bitches about Labor's spending, but I do believe that it was the spending which kept our economy alive and kicking through the dark years... I'm not saying all of the spending was logical, but neither are a lot of these extreme cuts...

It's easy to have a plan to do something by 2024, there's no promises to keep if you're not going to be in power for that long.

I think you had to earn over $10,000 a year from memory, it wasn't that strict.

What part of labors spending was logical? Giving 900 to people for nothing including prisoners, dead people, people living oversease who wouldn't spend it in austrlalia? The insulation debacle? Perhaps school building except they got things built they didn't want or need..

I challenge someone to find the last federal labor government to return a surplus you'll truly be shocked with the answer

[Birds]

Almost everyone in Australia bought shit off eBay from China and the US lol

Labor would like to believe their spending saved the economy that may not have fallen into recession regardless (I fail to see the links beyond claims from MPs), but it begs the question, where did they get the surplus from to do this with...

[emts]

after seeing the economy's in greece/spain/UK I see the logic in it.

basiclly there.

ppl here economic down turn, so decide to save some money rather than say buy a new car

so car sales places put some ppl off, unemployment went up.

ppl got more scared

started eating out less

so waiters/waitresses got put off

unemployment went up

so on.

till it got to a point gov could not recover by just spending some money.

yes most of the surplus money went OS as hell we don;t build anything in AU.

but it kept ppl confident to keep buying things and the economy rolling along.

why else does every-one in the world envy AU economy.

and yes now we tighten up when in better times to pay that back and we still the lucky country
