Diary of our stinking Govt.

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.Woman Happy

 

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.

yep. Howard did it to hide the true unemployment figures. Labor left it that way .


It is very hard to get on the DSP these days and has been for some time. There will always be the odd - "oh but I know someone or other, who got on it and they are fine." The facts tell the true story however and only the person involved and their treating Doctors know the real story.

yes thats right. andrews is feeding the narky types who support cracking down where it isn;t needed. its standard practice for these guys .. victimise those who don't have any clout.. it makes them appear tough when it isn't req'd.

thanks to Bella who posted this in the 100 days thread. How come whenever the conservatives try "humour" it's always rather nasty and mean? I suppose they just lack a sense of humour....

Donna, that is an absolutely filthy action from a politician who fits right in with this govt. and illustrates perfectly what they believe about the workers of this country. They are a disgrace. Woman Mad
