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.

He would have input into things anyway.
Just because he holds senior office in the Liberal Party doesn't mean that he should have input into the running of the parliament
If this was the Labor Party he would be called one of the faceless men.

Get your facts right, you are so full of hate it isn't funny.
I really do think you two are barking up the wrong tree.
I think you lot are trying to generate your own conspiracy.
Firstly, he is only a director. Why would the directors of the Liberal party not have input into Liberal Policy ?
That does NOT mean they run the Parliament.
Secondly, if someone has a problem with PC, they would go to the President of the Liberal party,
who is someone TOTALLY different.

Not only that, he would have been labelled a criminal, a union thug, an unelected bully, and the govt would have been worse for allowing it.
