"am' don't wanna play with me no more
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.

Promise worth little when they want you gone
What is a promise worth? From a friend or relative, sometimes even from a stranger, it can be enough to bet your life on. From a government? On paper?
Crickets. Tumbleweeds. A dingo howls in the distance.
The police had to intervene when the auction turned into a brawl.
And if you're old and poorly and you're in the way of powerful interests like governments and Sydney's property developers, the only promise you can bet on is one that you count for nothing.
So it goes for the residents of Welfare Street and Flemington Road in Homebush, who had home and hearth sold out from underneath them by the Sydney Olympic Park Authority. Despite assurances to the contrary, 12 families soon found themselves facing eviction.
Never. Stop assuming all posters are male, even though it is hilarious that you do make those false assumptions.
