Yes, sorry, it wasn’t meant as a “Don’t buy Chinese” comment. In fact, quite the opposite -> I’m endlessly having that discussion with my mother ie: we need to buy things from them if we want them to buy from coal, etc. from us.
It just seems to me that having a hand-out of money to people that just waste it on consumer items (which happen to be mostly sourced from China) that they don’t need and that add no value to anything longer term, seems pointless compared to spending on needed infrastructure within the country.

Then the Chinese shouldn't buy our coal. Or Americans shouldn't buy Dr Low's consulting services etc. No one will buy anything from anyone overseas. And why limit it to countries: people in NSW shouldn't buy things from Queensland, and Sydney-siders shouldn't buy things from Dubbo, and so on. I think Greg was referring to the annoying spin on the stimulus spend. -- David Connors | <mailto:da...@codify.com> da...@codify.com | <http://www.codify.com> www.codify.com Software Engineer Codify Pty Ltd Phone: +61 (7) 3210 6268 | Facsimile: +61 (7) 3210 6269 | Mobile: +61 417 189 363 V-Card: <https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors> https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Address Info: <https://www.codify.com/contact> https://www.codify.com/contact
