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.

As mentioned, one hopes those signed bats, don't end up being used for political reasons (signed bats by Australian cricket players being used for purposes they weren't intended for - political leverage re asylum seekers, like the last lot was).
I'll pass a message on that next time, please do not use Cricket bats.
Send them some more ex Navy gunboats again instead, that will ensure the looney left get on the outrage bus !

"He should enlist Penny Wong to become Minister for Women, she'd know what "both sides want" and he'd get double his bang for each buck"
I don't think St Tony would allow somebody with Penny Wong's views on his Team Australia. Much to much to confront and understand.
