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.

speaking of twistie things Paints.. would Ashgrove happen to be Campbell Newman's own seat by any chance
It's called the Ashgrove Plan and it's $18 million designed to keep the seat yellow and blue.
Premier Campbell Newman ventured into the outskirts of his electorate for his first campaign appearance, with a $5 million commitment to help the Mitchelton Youth Club expand.
looks like he's trying to buy it

Chemtrailing has been going on for years.......check it out on various websites easily accessible info and data......even photos.
....and yes it is an 'evil' process.
Most people prefer to consciously ignore as to confront such a goings on would mean that they would have to protest.....and this takes energy and risk of continual ridicule and the old worn out adage of being called a 'conspiracy theorist' .....by persons of your calibre!! Lucky I have big shoulders
I suppose you support the recently purchased F-35 Lightning lemons?
Military spending is a deep cesspit of waste.
How many aircraft carriers do they have now?
Insane imo.
We have the minds and resources to lead the whole planet on the renewable energy front but no, our pollies have to protect their best mateโs interests-including people like you and the rest of our country can go to hades........e.g. coal miners and companies (most of which are foreign owned!!!) are being supported by shareholders (like yourself!) and this LNP Govt .
wow. Australia is doomed while this LNP/Coalition Govt is in power.....and all you can do is call me names! LOL

Desperate times calls for $$$$'s Deb.
Wonder if $5 mill or even $18 mill 'promises' will convince voters to vote blue tie?........
only another lying LNPers promises......so that he can continue on sledging and slashing.
I mean look at all the things Newman cancelled, canned, slashed and cut to date!

PPPPFttttt! ........read this bowl-a shyte deb:
I mean they canned what Labour had in place for jobs for the youth......and now they want youth to believe their promises of glorious training and future jobs?!! LOL
"Why would any young person believe a word that comes out of Campbell Newman's mouth? he is the one that sold them up the river in the first place!
My 18 year old is voting for the first time in this election and he is really looking forward to voting against the LNP because he realises the damage Newman has done to his future."......
According to the ABS since the LNP were elected in March 2012 there are over 23,000 fewer full-time jobs in Queensland. That over 168 full-time jobs lost each week.
For comparison the last ALP government created over 485,000 full-time jobs and 66,000 full-time jobs in their last 32 months.

How can we believe Newman on any job creation program with a fancy name ?
Last election he claimed that he was going to get unemployment down to 4%
.
Unemployment has risen to 6.9 per cent since Newman and the โจLIE-berals came to power, jumping from 5.5 per cent in March 2012.
This is just another election stunt.
Unemployment in the regions is much higher and because of massive cutbacks in essential services, unemployment is likely to get worse before it gets better.
An ALP government led by Annastacia Palaszczuk will take a more caring attitude to Queensland through job-creation programs and apprenticeships and programs for young people.
She has a genuine plan to tackle youth unemployment.
A vote for Newman is a vote for Abbott, is a vote for a 15% GST !
โจPut the LIE-berals last !
Don't reward them with another 3 Years !

If Queenslanders believe that Campbell Newman and all his blue-tie clan will create jobs then one also needs to believe that pigs fly.
