The Grateful Dead

Well, I say! Those antipodean beer-guzzlers have really cut the mustard this time. I remember once visiting my Great Aunt Nelly in Woollongonga Beach, and got into all sorts of trouble with a possum, but that's a story for another time...

Apparently the Australian government have been trying to stimulate the economy by giving cash handouts of A$900 to every taxpayer in the country. Except ministers have admitted about A$25m went to Australians living overseas....

But wait! The best is yet to come. Somewhere in the region of A$14m has gone to recipients who are no longer with us. That's right. Oodles of cash paid out to dead people, in the hope they'll rise from the grave and pop to the local shopping mall to buy some new glad rags to take back to the tomb with them.

Well done Lindsay Tanner!

This is Nelson Rambsottom wishing you all a good evening!
