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.

was this posted already? It's a month old
The Liberal Party has โcompletely betrayed its core principlesโ says Young Liberal Executive Team member in scathing resignation letter
A MEMBER of the Young Liberal Executive Team has resigned in disgust, saying the party has โcompletely betrayed its core principlesโ.
Marguerite Iliescu, 28, has written a frank assessment of the partyโs failings in a resignation letter sent on December 1 to the Liberal Partyโs Victorian division, criticising its lack of loyalty, its treatment of young people and abandonment of its core principles.
โI am greatly saddened that I have become ashamed to be a member of the Liberal Party, which has completely betrayed its core principles and let down its base, and the Victorian people,โ she writes in a letter published by Menzies House.
โIt is my view โ and the view of many current members and members of staff whom I have spoken to โ that the Liberal Party now obviously believes in nothing except perhaps the restriction of liberty and the electoral success of the Liberal Party.โ
