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 they keep Bill they won't win the next election, if they dump Bill, (which Rudd made sure they can't) then they won't win the next election.
He's more unpopular than PM Abbott and that's saying something.

Billy Boy sure as hell isn't going to cut it with them either !

Yes, his record is pretty appalling, abusing women in shops, alleged rape accusations, his endless social climbing, I believe there's much more but it's kept under wraps.
He does have a foul temper and it's so funny watching him try to keep it in check. He's not popular with his own collegues. They made a fatal error not picking Abanese, the union heavies won again on that one. How can winning over 60% of the vote and not win be explained?

Social climbing ???????
He's finished with social climbing, after all, you can't really go much higher
