Mr Abbott!!
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.
Australia's leading women's website Mamamia is calling on MP Kevin Andrews, Cory Bernardi, Bernie Finn and Robert Clark to withdraw from the World Congress of Families conference.
"Sign this petition to help us send a strong message to Mr Clark and the other attending Australian politicians that endorsing this unscientific, repugnant conference is not alright by us.
If you believe in science, in tolerance, in the capabilities of single parents, and in a woman's right to control her own fertility, we invite you to stand with us.
"is not alright by us."
It would appear that tolerance is not universal, but limited to, or in the eye of (cyclops) the beholder !
Descartes, who?
I am so one eyed about politics that I voted for one of those men in at least the last 3 state elections
I have recently changed my mind about doing that again though , because it's not alright by me
Paints, not so sure about all that, I think they're just those crazy right to lifers who want to take away women's rights and nutters who want to take us backwards by about 50 years
"IMO RU486 may be proven to have caused breast cancer in women." It may be proven to cause red noses, but that is unlikely.
P007 that is just that, an opinion. You also believe in chemtrails, an assortment of MH370 nonsensical scenarios, and weather manipulation by use of ionising RF transmissions, all of which you have no expertise in, or knowledge of.
AMA Supports Use of RU-486 for Termination of Pregnancy
In 2005, mifepristone was included in the World Health Organization's (WHO) Essential Medicines List.
Mifepristone has been tested extensively and used safely and effectively worldwide since 1981, and in the United States since 2000., and Australia since 2006
FDA's approval was based on three "adequate and well-controlled" studies three clinical trials (a large U.S. trial and two French trials) and safety data from a post-marketing database of over 620,000 women in Europe who had had a medical termination of pregnancy (approximately 415,000 of whom had received the combination regimen of mifepristone together with the drug misoprostol)
However, if you have a contrary opinion to the wealth of supportive medical information, and lacking any associated knowledge, produce the trials/papers to support your "opinion", otherwise it will bundled in with your well known conspiracies and nutty scientific opinions.
