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 understand that Plaintiff actioned the Court Proceedings & certainly had every right to .....but what I mean is, these LNP morons in Govt would have known all along that what THEY did in beginning of this 'STOP the BOAWTS!' SAGA was unlawful....and would have had their own legal advice beforehand.....thay simply wanted to be seen to be 'stopping the boats' bs......did not care what cost to human beings in (unlawful) detention and $$$$ cost to us as Citizens.

Arthur Sinodinos says donation laundering scheme didn't pass ‘pub test’
Sidelined senator tells corruption inquiry he was not aware FEF money was from prohibited donors and accepts no responsibility
The former finance minister, Arthur Sinodinos, has told a Sydney corruption inquiry that a scheme to launder banned donations to the New South Wales Liberal party through a third-party fundraiser did not pass “the pub test” and “didn’t look right”.
But the sidelined senator, who chaired the party’s finance committee at the time, said he was not aware that money from the Free Enterprise Foundation (FEF) was being sourced from prohibited donors, and that he accepted no responsibility for the donations winding up in Liberal party coffers.
Pressed by counsel assisting the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac), Geoffrey Watson, SC, on what he had done to “determine whether the funds that had been raised had been raised lawfully”, Sinodinos admitted he had done “nothing”.
