Come on Senate!

While I'm sure no-one really cares as much as I do, for the purposes of complete documentation, I'd like to reflect that I'm very happy with the Greens today. Not only have they ensured that the stimulus package includes some sensible, sustainable infrastructure funding, but the new version of the package also looks set to ensure the inclusion of ALL low income earners, including postgrad students.

You can read about the agreed upon amendments, if you like.

This revised package passed through the Lower House last night. Back to the Senate this morning.
