As it's more than 100 days now, it has been suggested that a new thread was needed. The current govt has been breaking promises and telling lies at a rate so fast it's hard to keep up.
This below is worrying, "independent" pffft, as if your own doctor is somehow what? biased, it's ridiculous. So far there is talk of only including people under a certain age 30-35, for now. Remember that if your injured in a car, injured at work or get ill, you too might need to go on the DSP. They have done a similar think in the UK with devastating consequences.
and this is the 2nd time recently where the Govt has referred to work as welfare???? So when you go to work tomorrow (or tuesday), just remember that's welfare.

Independent doctors could be called in to reassess disability pensioners, Federal Government says
The Federal Government is considering using independent doctors to examine disability pensioners and assess whether they should continue to receive payments.
Currently family doctors provide reports supporting claims for the Disability Support Pension (DSP).
But Social Services Minister Kevin Andrews is considering a measure that would see independent doctors reassess eligibility.
"We are concerned that where people can work, the best form of welfare is work," Mr Andrews said at a press conference.

friedbug has some baggage following him around, if liberals lose the election they need to have a good house clean and install a lot of fresh faces into their front bench. if they can find some.
they just have way too many 'in it for the fame and money' MPs.
left overs from the glory days of howards days who have no idea why they entered politics.
for a mob constantly attacking the 'labor way' they sure have created a closed shop for who they pick to represent them on voting day.
the fact they voted for that 'its OK to be white' thing just goes to show they have no one left who can actually think for themselves.

Federal budget deficit to halve, but Treasurer warns no room for complacency
LOOK, i saved money by not spending it on medications and food and fixing the car and the house!
am i not a great candidate for treasurer?
JOSH, its OUR money you idiot not YOURS!
why do we give you this money?
so you will spend it doing all the things we want done, not so you can put it in your bank so you can tell us what a good saver you are.

BTW are the liberals running around with their "DEBT" bus now telling everyone how the "DEBT" has doubled since they took office?
As at July 1 2018, the budget estimate of net debt in Australia was about A$341.0 billion, up from A$174.5 billion in September 2013, when the Coalition took office. Thatโs an increase of A$166.5 billion, or roughly 95%, over almost five years
