Today I have launched a website which will provide a one-stop shop for information on the Australian Government’s Economic Stimulus Plan.

Australia, like governments around the world, is responding to the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Our economic stimulus is not a silver bullet to the global recession – but it will help cushion Australia from the full impact of the global downturn.

It’s important that Australians see how their money is being spent. The economic stimulus plan will be delivered with full transparency.

I urge you to stay in contact with this website and monitor our progress. We will be updating the website regularly and will be adding new features over time.

Together we will get through this global downturn.
