People won't be happy if the GST credits were given in the form of CPF for sure...

Still, each Aussie citizen will get $950 in cash from the federal govt in Canberra, automatically credited into one's bank account, even without applying for it.

THose who are out of a job, all those who are mainly blue-collar, will have jobs available in helping to repair schools, upgrade schools, rebuilding the road network systems, the broadband network(subjected to Parliament/Senate approval), and weatherisation of homes.

The Aussie federal government, unlike ours, is doing much more to keep the economy from sinking too low. Thus far, if there's a recession, they predict it would be small, just below 0%(-0.2%, I heard). If there's growth, they say it'd be 1%- still way better than the US, South Korea, Japan, Europe, Indonesia and of course Singapore, whom some believe will sink 10% this year.

-10%? For singapore? That will be the worst recession since independence. I wonder will the MPs be asked to give up their bonese and pay? Since their pay is peg to performance right?

That brings up a question. What the ministers got to do with GDP? The 84 of them goes around getting more business?

I dunno. But Bloomberg predicted the worst for Singapore in a wire report on Wednesday, and I trust them more than MAS which had to revise their economic projections 3 times in 3 weeks.

I heard of that report too. It is still too early to say anything. Nobody knows how bad it will be.

Local economists only know how to propagate the official government line. I'm terribly disappointed in them really. I won't do that basically because economists, unlike bankers, are liable to tell the truth in every other country, especially in Australia.

Its the truth that holds us in the job of being an economist. If you're an economist who misleads or even lie, I would bet you'd be out of a job pretty quick. No matter how liberal or conservative you are in your politics(that influences your view on policies, not stats; stats are stats, and you have to translate them as such, no matter how good or how bad).
