Bella, this article put's it better than I could.....the attack on people on the DSP, the idea that some aren't "disabled enough", that somehow peoples GP's aren't competent enough to decide, is very similar to what the NSW fiberals have done to workers comp, changed the rules so that the most injured workers are quickly cut off - yet their injuries and medical conditions remain, only their future is a lot bleaker.

The Coalition's society is no place for disabled people
In the same way disability puts a sharp edge on the gritty stuff we all deal with, it magnifies the disadvantage some of us suffer more than others
The anaemic, rudderless performance of Abbott’s government suggests it neither promises nor aspires to that kind of leadership. And when set against the government’s general receptiveness to the Commission of Audit’s recommendations – and its uncritical acceptance of the Commission’s rationale – there is little comfort in COAG’s assurance on Friday that it will press on with the NDIS rollout despite the Commission’s proposals to the contrary.
Whether the Coalition follows through with the NDIS or not, it has already shown its contempt for the kind of society where the scheme could truly take root.
