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 don't think Australia post should be sold off like Commonwealth Bank, Qantas ?????

Ask : What great things have been achieved for Australia and future Australians by past sell offs in this country?
none.

Rubbish
I made a killing on Comm Bank when it privatised.
Not so much on Qantas but decided to flog them off near the top before the share price crashed.
Just think, you could buy into the privatisation of Australia Post, obtain your shareholder discount on services
and go to the AGM's andhassle them about the poor service to your ebay customers !!!
I'm sure Ahmed will give you his time

That's the wrong symbol.
The power to the people symbol is the raised clench fist.
Jesus, was displaying that symbol at school 35 years ago !!! LOL
(I can't remember the band that used the clenched fist as it's album logo, anyone remember ?)
