Wherefore art thou Stimulus?

So the Australian economy is apparently now *weak* - according to the ABS and the people who track these things. Business indicators here, Car sales here and housing here.

It looks like things in OZ are now getting a little tougher.

But don't expect any more *stimulus* measures from the Australian government - because as we have been constantly told by the *experts* those measures are useless and unnecessary and a waste of time and money.

Or according to the Coalition brains trust and News Limited parrots they are.

Because only a year or so ago they were all banging on about how the *stimulus* was unnecessary and a waste of public funds and other made up BS.

Now of course every half arsed Coalition supporter wants a new *stimulus* package to save their favourite industry.

I just watch all this with total amazement.
