EXCLUSIVE: The Morrison Government is considering a Kevin Rudd-style cash handout as part of its multi-billion dollar coronavirus stimulus package. Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell has revealed Prime Minister Scott Morrison is in discussions with his team for ways to distribute close to $10 billion in stimulus to help the economy.
“I understand cash handouts similar to what occurred in the Rudd era have not been ruled out but Finance and Treasury officials are said to be pushing back against this sort of stimulus and the PM would seem reluctant on it as well.
aclennell pensioners do NOT need a payment how about people who are actually working 2 ...3 jobs and pay tax who actually NEED the money since we're actually out there prob getting infected by those that DON'T work uuuuuuuuuugh
aclennell Ridiculous stop wasting public purse.
aclennell Glad to see they are finally acknowledging that Rudd and Swan did the right thing last time there was a crisis.
aclennell Doubt that this will happen . If by some weird chance it does = There will be so many things put in place to hinder anyone who really needs it , getting it ! IMHO
aclennell Considering means NOTHING you dickheads 🙄🙄
aclennell 🤣🤣🤣🤣 2013 LiarFromTheShire ScottyTheSalesMan
aclennell They will casually undercut their entire economic philosophy when they feel they need to, because it worked.
aclennell Only to LNP business mates auspol
aclennell I doubt it will save him. Too little, too late, do nuthin scott.
aclennell Bet ScottMorrisonMP bitterly regrets knifing Turnbull & stealing an election 😂😂😂 Karma has a wicked sense of humour - Drought Bushfires Floods coronavirus RECESSION & he CAN’T BLAME Labor He DESERVES ALL THE SH!T HE GETS! Inept Incompetent AuspolSoCorrupt auspol
aclennell Well, hurry up.
aclennell Is that so that they can say “yes we considered that & decided no” or is it because they are really panicking?
aclennell The money will go to their mates. Who will then donate to the LNP. Thus ensuring public funding of a political party.
aclennell Well, you can start by reimbursement of my list super thanks to your trading partner, China
aclennell Luckily Labor didn’t inherit the LNP financial mess last election . Scotty from Marketing can love his own ugly baby .
aclennell Notional. Like the bushfire relief. Pure fantasy. Liars.
aclennell Scotty from a Marketing is going to cash splash Rupert Murdoch
aclennell More like Scotty from Marketing does his best Neri fiddled while Rome burned . Scotty and Josh have sat in their hands watching the economy tank in their bullshit quest for a Surplus after they doubled Australia’s Debt .
aclennell I thought we had a surplus?
aclennell Libtrash copy Labor solution because they have no plan & NFI
aclennell I bet my back teeth, to get the cash handout you've got to earn more than a certain amount. Probably over $50,000 before you get it.
aclennell Why not wait and find out before discussing hypotheticals? Then you can be critical!!!
aclennell What harm is one more stupid economic idea going to do anyway...who give a flying goose!!!
aclennell With what? Their broke! 🧐
aclennell Wow must be bad if Small Business is to big to fail get government bailouts. That cash printer is on full.. Hyper inflation here we come....
aclennell well they bought the election so this is just the next installment for this fascist crime gang.
aclennell So, they have finally shit their pants.
aclennell Don't do it! It doesn't work.
aclennell Problem is that there is little left to offer other than helicopter money as reckless politicians and CB's used up all the ammo!
aclennell Look at the swagger handing out money. How about actually protecting citizens by stopping anyone with Italian passport and closing the loophole for Chinese Uni to arrive as they please ? Stand up and lead sir.
aclennell I was considering spending my handout on one of these but they have been mysteriously removed from sale on the liberal party website.
aclennell How about just pause super for a year.
aclennell But... Labor bad?
aclennell So, he’s finally admitting that Labor’s plan was the RIGHT one!
aclennell Good!
aclennell This government is full of shit. Labor never got the credit for saving Australia from the GFC. Wish they were around now and not these hopeless idiots
aclennell Yeah, but will people on social security receive it, & if they will, will they have to pay it back?
aclennell Fake news!!!
aclennell It’s NOT a corona virus stimulus package... it’s a big bandaid to cover up the monumental clusterfuck of economic mgt (with convenient excuse) because maybe the surplus that they delivered next year always was a figment of their imaginations
JJKALE2 aclennell Matter of facts, government has dismiss the stimulus package to individuals. Only hard hit businesses will be rescued, and that is not guaranteed.
aclennell Good it worked unlike anything else he has done
aclennell He'll hate that headline! It's a sure way to change his mind. 😂
aclennell To little to late
aclennell This is the route of the problem. Easy money backed by nothing, which allows QE. inflation is a tax on the people. Keynesian economics is flawed and will be replaced by a system currently being built.
aclennell Clueless private school idiots propped up by Murdoch. God help us
aclennell Not that I regard Sky News as an actual news source, but this seems to be the opposite of what they said yesterday
aclennell So they'll have admit MrKRudd and SwannyQLD were correct after all? Bet that'll hurt their pride. auspol MSM
aclennell Copying the move of the superior financial managers at the ALP who saved us from the GFC? They must be really hurtin'
aclennell Iive from inside Joshy's office
aclennell Ahh the Murdoch blessings/command to ScottyFromMarketing Do a Rudd style stimulus.
aclennell Morrison Government is CONsidering adopting Labor policies as they have none of their own and concede that Labor are much better at managing the economy in a crisis.
aclennell At least they would be able to put heaters on come winter. I have an old friend who goes to bed at dark with electric blanket because she can't afford to run heater
aclennell Dumb politics...
aclennell Would make pensioners very happy.
aclennell I think given the apparent lack of international travel, a stimulus will be more likely to be spent in Australia, it sounds like it’s a great idea; especially if we can try and spend it in bushfire/drought affected regions
aclennell New TV on the way 👍
aclennell Hypocrisy
aclennell JoshFrydenberg publicly declared yesterday that they will never do this. The LNP stimulus is a trickle down... which will never help those that actually need it. Fraudenberg recession2020 auspol LNPliars FlipFlop EconomicTerrorism
aclennell Aka StuntMo with egg on his face Backflips as he has no strategy - So called good economic managers !!
aclennell Throw out heap of cash to cover up where u fked up in the past. Tell us how we stand before the stimulus package
aclennell Hey now. If this happens credit where credit is due. The LNP swallowed its pride and actually delivered something that can stimulate the economy. Unlike tax breaks for businesses. Let's all give JoshFrydenberg a clap for getting this one right.
aclennell Paid in TP and flour?
aclennell Nuuuu , I only want toilet paper, toilet paper you idiot, AUD is losing it’s value, but TP . 😅😅
aclennell Talk about flip flopping. Yesterday Frydenberg said they’d never do this.
aclennell Don't mention Rudd his name is mud.
aclennell LOL. As if. I only expect more trickle down rorts from the CrimeMinisterMorrison How is giving a small business instant write off to buy a ute from overseas going to stop a recession?
aclennell Well,well
aclennell Good on ya Scomo 👏👏👏
