Most viewed & replied to thread. Bar none.

Sorry to mine this up...
But.
I guess Howard an Co. know, that they can afford to give $2,000 away to X amount of people, because in 2ish years those people are going to be screwed over when the gas excise comes in. Spend money now, make more later. Greener Australia, are they talking the money or the gases??... there's food for thought.
