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.
SN: " we are responsible for those we send back, and who are being imprisoned (all those that went back to Shri Lanka), tortured and or killed.
SN a link would be better than a unproven comment. However, the last last 41 boat people from Sri Lanka who were "returned" consisted of 37 from the Sinhalese majority and four were Tamil Sri Lankan national. They admitted to being economic refugees and apart from the organisers were released by the Galle magistrates.

"A Sri Lankan court has released most of the 41 asylum seekers returned by Australia, one of whom has slammed their treatment by Canberra." The smugglers were detained
The "one" complained that some food he was given was past its "use by date", torture indeed !!
G58: "Big deal. How is 50,000 refugees from the world wide pool of millions disasterous?
It's not. It's just the lie we've been fed by the old white men who fear losing their grasp on control.
You do know that more people attend a footy final match? "
How many die/drown at a footy match?
"old white men who fear losing their grasp on control" Interesting and possibly revealing comment.

It is not and never was about people drowning.
Old white men control parliament, business, education, everything. Yes, it is revealing that they will do and say anything to retain that control.
