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.

I know several personally that were put on disability during Howard's tenure.
@freddie*rooster wrote:It is well known that under the Keating government long term unemployed were encouraged to go onto the disability pension whihc of course took them off the unemploment statistics.
The above is total BS spin, there is no way anyone can/could be put on a disability pension unless their medical condition was assesed and deamed serious enough by Specialist Medical Practioners, along with covering reports from various other Doctors. There was even a time, after being assesed by the above, you were also sent to a Centrelink Doctor prior to being granted a Disability Pension.
