Adam Curtis: 2014 A Shapeshifting world
Many of us took the money in the spirit intended, and went shopping
Since consumer sentiment and the economy picked up right on cue, analysts from the likes of the IPA came out and said it was "wasteful", "unnecessary", and "didn't work". My feeling is that if the treasurer had been red instead of blue they would have hailed him as a genius!
Ross Gittins (economics writer for the left leaning SMH and The Age) argues against their point here - http://www.rossgittins.com/2014/10/re-writing-re-write-of-gfc-fiscal.html
The background to the stimulus is explained here - http://www.thegoodfightonline.com.au/behind-the-gfc-1/

What the Australian government here did, which was far more effective (and completely avoided any recession) is simply gave out cash to everyone. Unlike QE money which just sat around in safe assets this got spent (largely to pay off debts, but this would have to happen anyway and sped up a recovery).
Cat vs Snake
Looks like the cat knew what it was doing. Probably feral... eats snakes all the time.
Also looks like he got bit on the chest about 20-odd seconds it, when they swap sides the kitty appears to be bleeding, but it could just be dirt on its fur.
Anyways, impressive snake gittin' skills. My cats are totally hopeless pampered mostly indoor sissies. Occasionally they get some critter and play with it to death or until I take it away. I used to have one though that was a badass hunter. She hardly ate any cat food at all during the summer. Mostly mice and things, but smaller rabbits on occasion. A few times I found her sitting next to a rabbit carcass, blood all over her face, happily munching on its guts looking like a lion eating a gazelle. She always brought her prey to the same part of the yard for eating and it was routinely littered with the dismembered bits and pieces of various animals (a bird's wing here, a mouse's head there, and many other things I couldn't and didn't care to identify).
