Australians reacted to the news with a mixture of seriousness and humor.
@tom_baker (Sydney): Well, Australia will officially be in deficit for the next four years (due to the new stimulus). But I suppose Kevin's just trying his best.
@uncster (Sydney): Stimulus package looks interesting... A Plasma TV in every bedroom by 2010!
@static_22 (Canberra): Can't wait to get my $950 from the governement in this new economic stimulus package!Even a politician weighed in.
@premierofnsw (New South Wales): Kevin Rudd's stimulus plan is good news for families and the economy. It stands side by side with NSW's $56 billion infrastructure program
