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.

LOL freedom of expression it is called!!!
Hypocrisy is when many oversized cartoons/ caption images are posted all the time aimed at Labor, but the complainers only complain about the ones aimed at the LNP!

Maybe Tony Abbott was at The Dog races whilst drinking copious amounts of frothing beer?
Maybe not......but Australia has certainly gone to the dogs in the last 16 months imo.

I like the irony in saying Abbott is the worst PM
Yet labor gave us Rudd and Gillard LOL, two useless t rds who ever became PM.
Rudd had a personality disorder, control fetish, Gillard was just incompetent.
Well, that's not true. The Rudd bit is, the Gillard bit isn't though. She thought she could make a difference, not sure if she was naive or overpowered.
*typo
*really over the constant p!ssing contests. Biggest bunch of "right-fighters" on the net.

It is not rubbish. It is my opinion and many others hold the same view in Australia. No one asked you to agree with that statement.
Even right wing biased media are bagging Abbott out now.
