MESSAGE TO THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC
 
The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate.

If we spend that money at K-Mart, the money will go to China.

If we spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs,
 
if we purchase a computer it will go to Taiwan,

If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to
 
Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala,

if we purchase a good car it will go to Japan,

If we purchase useless crap it will go to Korea

and none of it will help the Australian economy.

The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes

and beer, since these are the only products still produced in Australia.

Thank you for your help.

Kevin Rudd & Wayne Swan .
(Australian Prime Minister & Australian Treasurer)
