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.

You mean this incident?:
Abbott's love child turns into shaggy dog story
a. he didn't know she was preggers
b. it turned out not to he his
You know polks, over the years posting here, I've learned to check my facts. Maybe you should too.
The man publicly embraced by Tony Abbott as his long-lost love child is the child of another man.
The Minister for Health confirmed last night that DNA testing had proved Daniel O'Connor, 27, an ABC sound recordist in the federal parliamentary press gallery, was not his son.
Abbott announced he had found a long lost son, before he bothered to have DNA checks done.
He was prepared to acknowlege the truth. Wouldn't be thefirst man tricked into admitting paternity. Thank god for DNA. I just felt sorry for the young man.
How old was the PM when that child was conceived?
Old enough, obviously,
