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.

using siev 221 as an example.
what was the point you were trying to make?
It's a question. What the hell happens when the boats are sent back? We are not told. Secret sovereign borders.

The unemployment rate has hit a 12-year high of 6.3%, fuelling talk of interest rate cuts in 2015.
Novemberโs figure is up from 6.2% the previous month despite the creation of 42,700 jobs, a figure nearly three times larger than economists were expecting. However, only 1,800 positions were full-time.
a 12 year high is shocking

I have never seen such a weak argument.
A Palestian was sent back in 2002.
In 2008, he was shot dead for one of two reasons
Refugee advocates who supported Mr Masri said the killing, outside a courthouse near the Khan Yunis refugee camp, might have been carried out by the Palestinian political party Fatah, which wrongly believed he was an Israeli collaborator.
But sources in Gaza suggested the 31-year-old was killed to avenge his alleged involvement in the deaths of two members of a rival clan 18 months ago, part of a long feud.
If you get involved in murder and espionage, the expect these things.
If he had kept a clean nose, he would probably still be alive.
and what was senator evan's
response when questioned about
denying the man's visa application?
