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.

In other words, a handful. What is the percentage of women to men in top powerful positions? My guess is less than 10%.

I was just shwoing her that not all of them are white males.
Hey, you want power, influence, then get off your bleep and go get it and stop **bleep**ing and moaning
that men are in power and women aren't ???
Or do you expect to be parachuted in on a quota basis instead of earning the position ?
It doesn't cut with me,
I've seen plenty of capable women in my life who I would follow and have followed and taken orders from.

the gossip is that the abbott gave murderson the job to make sure that murderson becomes nigel no mates (isn't he already?) and that will ensure that murderson will never be able to stab the abbott and take his place as LyingNP leader leecher.

Scott Morrison's calculated cruelty is his legacy
He proved to be a callous Immigration Minister, yet he is given another portfolio that requires compassion.

glee is male and we all know who he is... Writes like a male, talks like a male and his old ways of writing and mannerisms are starting to show again
A failed male then
It doesn't matter, my comments stand regardless of his gender. In any case, **bleep** has gender got to do with it ?
If you are up to the job, then do it.
Here are two very young woman who I was inspired by. They won a Military Cross each in Afghanistan as a medics.
