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.
There is a moral difference between what is "legal" and what is socially responsible as a good citizen of this country.
Weasel words like "tax minimisation" where the clear objective is "tax avoidance" are just that - weasel words.
Sadly our tax legislation allows for this sort of leeching off the genuine PAYG worker that pay - year in, year out - close to the marginal rates on their income.
And those that actively engage in this "tax minimisation", both individuals and corporations, have the gall to lecture us about not being leaners. pffft.

The picture of TA's book is a very poor example of what you are trying to slander but then thats expected and total lack of research is also par for the course
The TA book even the updated edition is now 4 years OLD
Battlelines: Tony Abbott: Second edition edition (January 2010)
Research is always advisable when you attempt to slander someone or make a poor example....

I am sure that mm12 is like me, we pay what our accountants tell us to pay within the tax law at the time in Australia
If thats zero or very little and its legal then so be it..
so part of the "leaners" then? I do remember the thread - was nerowulfs - yes?
Welcome to the welfare nation: Half of Australia’s families pay no net tax
The welfare mentality is alive and well in this country
WELFARE is alive and well but not for me, you maybe and lots of others but not me. I work hard for my money, make good investments and PAY tax on many things and my TAX return each year is LEGAL and within the law....
Sad this below picture is so true and so many left leaning think welfare is their right......
