No we wont. As we will become a third world country we will make an application to the IMF to have richer nations retire or forgive our foreign debt on our behalf. Its all good I tells ya.......free money!

[Mr Hardware]

Like in 4-5 years time when the recession is ending and the govenment at the time will raise taxes to get the money back.

Only $950 in todays money will be more like 1100-1200 then due to inflation. :togo:

[Lynch'd]

Start investing it now as is supect i'll be paying it back 10 fold when this handout fails to achieve a thing.

[Captain Falcon]

Split system and a slab.

[Green X]

If it goes off last years tax return i should scrape in i think.

Ether way I'd rather the money be spent on somthing positive for the economy and the environment since the govenment likes to jump up and down allot on that subject.

Like some sort of Clean Power station or something> Something that will put money in the economy and employ a few 1000+ people for 2 years or so during the build, aswell as generate jobs once it's up and running.

what would i do with it.

Stick it all on some small mining company, if i loose it don't give a F cause i never had it anyway, if they go up i make some money!

[ch33z1l]

pay of some of my car loan remainder and maybe something for the girlfriend

when the next Morgan poll gets done and the liberal leader is showing an approval of under 10%, he will buckle.

his 'refusal' is the only chance he gets to get on tv these days

[Redrum]

When they determine how much you get is it based on 07/08 or 08/09 taxation year? If 08/09 year I will only get around $300.00, maybe $650.00.

I will put it towards the new FG F6! Sunroof perhaps, part there of anyway.

[Fev]

Tint and suspension+tyres

[Auslandau]

Me? Buy a carton of ciggies and off to CROWN :

[BAxtER]

new rear tyres... and the rest will go to my savings account.

[Redrum]

As much as I would like the money I must say I agree with the opposition leader Malcom TURNBULL.

[rayner22]

Probly a cat back, and maybe a typhoon spoiler. hmmm but how hardwould it be to find an AUSTRALIAN MADE + OWNED exhaust???

[thefargo]

putting mine into infrastructure, well, structure; a shed extension. A new clean home for the ford. Maybe even with drains so I can wash it in the shed; with the water I don't have.

[Marduk]

Bills.

[pertuan]

I probably won't get it. Got nothing last time. I'm single with no kids. Pay taxes out the butt and get nothing in return. Thanks Kev!

IF I do for some miracle get it, I'll spend it on a SCUBA dive course and some dive trips.

[MGGT RAA]

Putting it towards a new stereo for the XR...

[Cookie-XR8]

DYNO TUNE lol or bills, if i spend it before my missus it will be tune, if she gets her hands on it bills

[Pinch]

If it goes through as is based on 07/08 TI I should get most if not all. If based on some other measure I will be inelligible, but wife will be eligible regardless.

Being lucky that we don't 'need' it (of course we could always 'use' it), and I don't really agree with getting it, we will do our best to spend it as intended. I read that the best way is to eat out or buy Australian products. I might get some minor work done around the house or on the Fairlane, paying someone to do what I would normally have done myself.

I am keen to help the economy. My brother has been fired twice in 2 months from welding jobs as demand slows and workshops downsize. The job he got after being fired from his long standing job only lasted a month before it too was downsized. He got another gig today, but now is on the 'last on, first off' roundabout as he will be the first to go from anywhere given he was the last hired. Of course if he needs it, our money will be his, otherwise I am keen to do whatever I can to help the economy.

I have been doing this for the last few months though. I held off buying all this discretionary luxury stuff for years because it would be bad for the economy. Then when it all started going pear shaped and we were told to spend up, I bought new work clothes (that I needed though), Full HD TV, new computer, did reno's on my place, and got local tradesmen into do work that I would have otherwise done. We went away down the coast over Christmas as per normal - but spent more.

We have been going to some different restaurants here too as well as significantly increasing our charity donations.

While I was saving and paying off the mortgage before and being a bit of a tight a... (bit did go overseas), I am now not saving as much. Everyone else may be battening down the hatches, but its all about preceptions and sentiment. The only problem is acting on those non-tangible issues creates real problems. Could I potentially be doing myself a disservice in terms of personal wealth, yes. But if everyone hordes their cash now, we are all doomed.

Or maybe I'll just put it all on black...

Yeah agreed - also lets see job creation through infrastructure. Not short term handouts.

[mrbaxr6t]

If I get it I will smackdown the credit card debt to save me the interest T5 imploded :

[eb_5litre]

Theres a space in my tv cabinet that a PS3 would fill quite nicely.

[daniel_rossy]

straight into the savings account. Saving up for a new car

[TUF_302]

Ill save most of it, the rest will get me a new Head unit and some front seats for my Pathfinder :

[jcxr]

Some Hookers, a head job, and a few other things for the car. Oh yeah, for those that dont know, Hookers are a manufacture of headers in USA. lol

[MrXr6Tickford]

Saving towards my motorbike

[ebxr8240]

Not really what the payout was intended for.
