Maybe some decent roads, tax rebates, school and hospital infrastructure might be a better idea - as long as they're in Australia that is...

"This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:
"Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
"A. It is money that the federal government will send to Taxpayers.
"Q. Where will the government get this money?
"A. From taxpayers.
"Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
"A. Only a smidgen.
"Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
"A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a
high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
"Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?
"A. Shut up."

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the Economy by spending
your stimulus check wisely:
If you spend that money at K-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If you spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India.
If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to South East Asia or
New Zealand (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a car it will go to Japan.
If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.
And none of it will help the economy.
We need to keep that money here. You can keep the money here by
spending it at garage sales, going to a football game, or spending it on
prostitutes, beer or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still here.

Actually - the money going to boost the Chinese economy is exactly what should happen - a good Chinese economy has a multiplied positive impact on the Australian Economy through a new resources boom. So the money will find its way back to Aust.
Though I personnally prefer that the money be spend on infrastructure and things like health (but only after the waste has been cut out of the system).

Tiss my thoughts also
Not enough money to "Reno the house" or employ the trades
Should be used for major projects which = employment
Hang on! .... they have our Superfunds for that .... What did Rudd want to do with this again????

We cannot win
If the buggers invest the money in the roads they will give the business of maintenance to their mates, so we will end with another few dozen of tollways
Some times I would love to go back to the later 60's and early 70's
Sorry to be sarcastic

I believe that the fellow that designed the Syd Harbour Bridge have done some work on that idea. I do not know if I am correct on that
