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.

And you lot reckon Shorten is ready to be PM ?
Jesus, he was given a perfect opportunity on a silver platter and he blew it, launching into the standard tirade
from the book.
He could have just said, Yes, of course I am, and then launched into why but no, he blew it.

Sore loser who got it wrong, Big time.
Even you said he needed to win well and he did win well, FAR more than you expected.
The LEFT are the Canibals who eat their own and then still lose.

Does that mean Ballieu, O'Farrell, Giles, Mills, are all Lefties in disguise?
