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.
If Kidman picked up a telephone and dialed any person in Australia to chew their ear off over something,
the Prime Minister down would listen.
Not sure how the GG would take it

A Darwin chilli sauce company was trolled by southerners because it apologised for Prime Minister Tony Abbott on its bottle
A DARWIN sauce company has been trolled by “southerners” on Facebook after a photo of their product was circulated on social media.
The attention led to an almost 26,000 per cent increase in traffic - all because the label apologises for the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott allegedly being an idiot.
The label is for Darwin Hot Sauce and a variant has been on the labels since Labor was in power federally.
The label came to internet prominence when it was posted on the NT News Twitter and Facebook page.
It reads: “Darwin Hot sauce (Sriracha Style) Is what it is. We are sorry our Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, is an Idiot. Heat Level Cat 3.”
The company co-owner - who does not want to be named - said Darwin Chilli Co’s Facebook page had come under attack from the ‘Bill Shorten will NEVER be Prime Minister’ Facebook page.
He said the sauce’s page saw a 26,000 per cent increase in traffic before they shut it down because they have run out of sauce and are going on holidays.
While not much is known about the group, NT News understands they do not want Bill Shorten to become Prime Minister.
But the problem is clear, southerners and their general lack of a sense of humour.
One sauce hater and Tony Abbott lover, Mark Huckster, turned his attention on Darwin.
“Nobody in Darwin can read anyway,” he wrote.
Darwin Chilli Co. said it was a joke that “nearly” everyone gets; having started in France in the 80s on washing instructions labels
“A very small percentage get butt hurt and have no sense of humour, and think that 11 tiny words on the back of the bottles is the worst thing in living memory,” he said.
“Our Facebook page got trolled by southerners in the early (Saturday) afternoon, Brisbane and Melbourne mainly, then Darwin locals stepped in, and told them to go f**k themselves. So proud.
“We do what we love and people love the sauce. Vegemite is Halal and a whole bunch of haters think that if they eat Halal foods their family will catch ebola and then will join ISIS.
“Interestingly, I don’t vote for Labor, or the Libs or the Greens.
“But at the same time they think that charging $100,000 for a university degree or charging families to take their kids to the doctor or cutting defence force pay increases or pension are all good ideas.
“Oh dear. Please excuse me while I go outside and beat myself with a big stick for being such a bad Australia and ruining the country.”

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.
I agree but the lefties and greens like quotas and have a care factor if the woman is up to the job or not.... Gillard was a perfect example of being NOT up to the job
and another example of the labor quota system is Tanya Plibersek... simply not up to the job
