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.
Don't you love a meme that can't even get the spelling right.
"Say's the idiot ...."
Irony anyone ?
I challenge our Abbottphiles here on CS to start their own thread about the positive achievements of our current Government.
Maybe you could call it "Diary of our glorious Government" ?
Let's see if it gets to 5000 posts.
What will you say when you get past "stop the boats" ?
Not long ago I started a thread about putting your hand up if you were proud of Abbott - I think it fizzled out with no takers (fully understand your reticence to publicly support Tones, I must say).
