Australia just shot down their Stimulus Package!!

[idiom]

Australia just canned their Stimulus package! In a shock move a senate member of the ruling party broke ranks and voted against his parties bill.

Basically they were going to give every man woman and child a cheque for $1000 and spend a boatload on school construction and expansion.

Won't they just reintroduce the bill, do a little "arm twisting" and make sure it passes next week?
