Covid-19 Stimulus Package

[peat]

I would like to see them bring a lot of planned infrastructure projects forward. Nows a good time to catchup whilst things are quieter

probaably won’t happen but one can hope

they're meant to be doing that anyway, and that's good - get ON WITH IT!

[bull....]

i would like some helicopter money

My question is whether it will be a support package, or a stimulus package. Stimulus reduces the need for support.

Current beneficiaries should get nothing extra, they already in the luxurious position of being able to sit out any epidemic at home, without the need to work.

They should all be given temperature scanners and sent out to test people. Or trained as hangmen to string up people ignoring self isolation

10,000 dollars each to all us share owners to compensate for loses due to govt incompetence. Other than that, let them all go to the wall.

But how do you fund it if the tax take is way down?

True....vested interests have been successful in narrowing the tax base to such an extent that we rely so heavily on income tax and GST.
