Today's 'The Sun-Herald':  50,000 Australians living overseas in 21  
countries with which we have reciprocal pension agreements will  
receive their share of the  $4.8 billion slug to stimulate the  
Australian economy.

Ireland, Cyprus and Italy are cited as three of the 21.  No mention of  
the UK.  Given the amount of Ozzie wine bought in the UK, a pensioner  
bonus paid there might  have had a marginal benefit for our economy.

Such is life.
