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.
V300: Some parts of the economy are going gangbusters, flat out. 
Sometimes V300 I think that it is only gangbusters for some when their "gimme gimme" is answered with pre election hand feeding .
Now in the current Govt's rose smelling world of real economics:
Telstra Corp Ltd (TLS.AX)
6.67 
0.07(1.06%)
0.07(1.06%) I bought some in tranche 1, and then a lot around $3.00 some years 3 ago which are now returning nearly 14%. with the sweet fragrance of their FF dividends?:
If this is a " stinking Govt." may they continue to languish in a large bed of titan arums, not forgetting that it was the ALP attempts to run a NBN/blackmail Telstra, which added to my bottom line (and a few million other investors).
(sorry A3, I digressed into the forbidden days of the Circus and the Poor Me and Rudd act) 
A dividend by any other name would smell as sweet. With the added "dividend" of the resident Myops and their cathartic bleats.

We have a new circus in town now, Chief Clown - Tony Abbott, who has spent most of this week spruiking the Poor Me act.
You'll catch up in about.. ah um ah.. five years time.
