Leaving aside the question of if it is the right thing, I was thinking what to do with the government handout. I am thinking that if we all go out and buy a plasma then it will be for nothing and perhaps only prop up china for 30 seconds.

With that in mind I am going to pay a local installer to put in a solar hot water heater. That way the installer gets some money to spend in the local community and the solar hot water company gets a look in as well. Yes the hardware is most probably made overseas but the bulk of the money will stay here. It also helps that it will be good for the environment and save our energy bills.

Just my 2c.

Cigarettes, Grog, and Pokies, what better way to give it straight back to the goverment. IM TAKING THE ****.

Im not even sure if I will get it, If i do, it will be a bonus. Ill probably use it to fix a few things on my car, and save the rest for petrol money for TAFE this year, as I spent over 80 bux a fortnight a week on public transport last year, plus about another 100 on fuel, so it will be more now Im driving everyday.

There should be a little left over, if so then a front strut brace and materials to make a rear strut brace.

Corona drift stylez. They go like slightly bigger, twice as powerful ke70's. Decided that learning how to fix **** on a reliable hilux motored slider would be a good idea.
