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.
No deflecting from the chaos the Coaltion is in. Abbott is in serious trouble.
I know I am not allowed to mention under the A3 rule, which states the political world was created 7-09-2013, but "oh the towering feeling" of deja vu:
"Gillard * portrayed Rudd's time as Prime Minister as "chaotic and dysfunctional"
"Gillard * as been accused of running a chaotic government plagued by vendettas"
"Gillard * portrayed Rudd as a "chaotic" manager and would-be celebrity who led a "paralysed" government."
Who am I to argue with the (ex) Circus ring leaders.

Are Rudd and Gillard still in office?
It's 2015 now. In late 2013 there was an election in which Gillard did not stand for re-election. Rudd resigned a short time later.
This thread is about the current government. If you have columns or newspapers lining your halls you could perhaps go back a few piles and read about the last federal election to refresh your memory.
