Diary of our stinking Govt.

[boris1gary]

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.

That article sounds like an ad for his business.

Mr Andrews argued that people needed to be "relationship ready", "child ready", "school ready", "life ready" (in terms of emotional and financial skills), "work ready" and "ageing ready" (to ensure a productive and meaningful later life).

Well, Kevin, I am not "ageing ready".   But if I had your super I would be.

that thing in the UnAustralian is fascist rubbish - the eugenics guide to family planning, says a lot about the paper as well, does anyone know if that thing is still in the ALP? Paving the way for morriskum in his new role maybe?

Thats it boris, throw the racist rant out to stifle debate, just like your mate earlier.

Remove the Aboriginal references and then apply it, as he said.
