So anyway. Wether it's a good idea or not, nothing we say (especially on a car forum) is going to change the fact that most of us will soon be receiving some extra money deposited into our accounts from the government. I say look on the bright side and realise that no matter how bad our economy is heading we still live in the lucky country and that you and I will always live a better life than my world vision sponsor child. So back on topic. Steven, where did you get your exhaust done? I too might do the right thing and get an aussie made exhaust. Yours sounds nice and your car actually moves unlike most uzz31s. I live on the northern beaches too but I've never seen your car around.

In deference to the repeated views that we not pursue what I had hoped would be an interesting economic rather than political discussion, I plan to stop posting here.
and the word for which you were looking was "Cue", Sebastien, not the Spanish for "What". That is my political subject.

I got carried away so post removed, we can return to topic.
- David, might have been a little off in how i brought those ideas to print so apologies for sounding like an idiot. IMO public works for the sake of work is different to infrastructure development for long term birth rates, immigration and productivity.
Projects with private backing from inception to completion tend to be the later.

Ha ha, my bad david. By the way my name is spelt SebastiAn, not SebastiEn. You can copy and paste it next time but WHO CARES. This is a car enthusiast forum, not a spelling bee or a place where people should voice their political/economic opinion and expect it to A. Make any difference what so ever and B. interest more than 2% of forum members. Who started this crappy thread anyway?

Despite my belief that this is a band aid fix to a deep seated socio-political problem, anything that reduces the income gap, even by a little, is good in my books.
Basically, if you are over 18, an Australian resident for taxation purposes, earned under $100K and your tax liability was greater than your tax credits in 2007-2008, then you get it.

Imo the threshold should have been set at an upper limit of 80k

Don't worry boys, there's no way I'm missing out on "free" (and we all know what I mean by that.....) money from Krudd. My tax gets done with my old man's company stuff, so it's always done the year after.

Booo, still haven't got ours.
And I will be mightily pissed off if I receive a cheque, rather than bank deposit. The last two tax returns we have done, entering the same bank details, wife gets bank deposit and I get cheque, stupid pieces of paper.
We were trying to figure out how it is being done, its not alphabetical (they said that outright) its not by postcode, or by earnings, or by age, or by when you did your return, so obviously its completely random.
However, two households I know of received the payments together, so perhaps address is a factor?
I have no idea, but I would like it sooner rather than later, getting mighty pissed off hearing people saying "I GOT MINE" and spending it on junk!
