The business of chucking money around will simply cause inflation
. Sure, it will get people out and spending, but the jobs will not be real jobs, they will be short term and be on produce not made in Australia(no value added), raising our foreign debt even further . The government is too stupid to realise that long term, you can only consume what you produce and should be trying to have stimulus on the supply side of the equation, which does produce real long term jobs. Perhaps chairman Rudd's plan is to sell Australia to China to pay for all the cheap garbage we buy from them
