Stimulus money goes to foreigners
BARBARA TOKLEY was grateful, if a little embarrassed, to receive $1400 from 
the Rudd Government as part of its stimulus package to bolster the 
Australian economy. The trouble is, she is not an Australian citizen, she 
has not lived here since 1969, and she has spent every cent stimulating the 
New Zealand economy.

Ms Tokley, 69, a British-born resident of Auckland, is among thousands of 
non-Australians whose bank accounts in 21 other countries have swollen with 
Kevin Rudd's stimulus funds.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Two questions arise from this



How could this happen

and

Why should it be given to non-residents?



Did Krudd instruct the package to be deposited in ALL OZ bank accounts, 
without checking all details on who the depositor actually was?



Probably why the second package has been mailed out
