The political battles continue over the Federal Government抯 $42 billion economic stimulus plan as Kevin Rudd manages to see the package passed through the House of Representatives in a marathon late night sitting ending in the early hours of Thursday morning,replica rolex submariner, but with a major fight still to be won in the Senate.
