Diary of our stinking Govt.

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.Woman Happy

 

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.

Tony Abbott became PM simply because he wasn't Rudd or Gillard.. not a good reason and that is why he is in BIG trouble now.

"Why post the IPA list from 2012?

please if you can find me a more current IPA list, I would love to see it"

 

I was indicating that the suggestions are 2012 history (sorry A3), well canvassed, and apart from stirring the Myops  some are clearly past their use by date, apart from C&Ps here!

it is still relevant as you can see that some of things on that list have been recently implemented and it also relates rather strongly to our current sinking govt. would love to see a current one ( if there is one) because it's probably much worse

P007: .....yes but luxury car/vehicle tax is only applied to new vehicles priced over whatever $ value.....sure you can fill us in on this MM!.....something like $65-$70K or more. I'm poor! but those who can afford a new 'luxury' car should pay tax.....

 

They do P007,  nearly 10 times as much as those who can not afford a new 'luxury' car, also GST,   and you still  want more of others income   gimme gimme?
