first the money for the tax cuts isnt even real yet.. its future revenue projections.. based on things like migrant workers not taking their superannuation with them etc. so who knows how much there will be.

i wonder whether the tax cuts were ever a serious proposition or instead just the election campaign ante. the liberals knew for a year they were going to lose so the tax cuts was a gamble - it could have got them back into office in which case they would have worried about them later, if not it would always be guaranteed ammunition for next election.

with economies of scale 1 x $30bn buys a hell of a lot more than 20 million x $1500. $30bn buys serious infrastructure - imagine that spent on alternative energy implementation. compared to 20 million plasma tvs - which will just be 20 million piles of junk in a decade.

lets skip the tax cuts.
