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.

You know something John? Most of the groups that had their funding cut are groups that would prefer not to exist. They're groups that would prefer not to have to deal with a debilitating disease every day, they would prefer not to be homeless because they got dumped by their partner and lost their job, they would prefer not to be suffering PTSD after seeing their mate killed in action or after seeing the tortured mutilated bodies of children with regularity. Most people would rather contribute than "take" as you put it.
How much tax did you pay Australia in your life time?
Did you pay your fair share or did you come here to retire?
You minimise your tax as much as possible which indicates you too have the gimme gimme attitude you despise in others. Most of those others are deserving and need all the support that they get.
Oh gosh, Déjà vu thy name is IR
I think my answer to you posted 2 weeks ago is just as relevant, I note also unanswered!
"Mon man, you're a self-admitted tax avoiding leaner. You have no credibility and no authority to give anyone advice, unless it is aimed at those others of your ilk who are similarly immoral and unethical."
Interesting change of topic LR. So where have I "self-admitted " or even just self-confessed to being a "tax avoiding leaner"?
"No credibility", so why chat with me? or are you self-attracted to those who you think reflect your own self-persona?
"no authority to give anyone advice, unless it is aimed at those others of your ilk who are similarly immoral and unethical." Good, then I can advise you to stick to the subject, and tell me (and P007) who owns Telstra.
I am self-worried because I own a bunch of TLS (with a lot of other "ilks") and would want to know who I am associating with.

That article is not about voters- it is clearly about marginal seat Liberal MP's views. Selective editing by you mm12 - leaving out the Morrison part - the point of the article, as you know ,is hopeless LNP MP's that don't even know what they are doing and get moved along out of their job. Then a new one comes along and revokes their ill timed bad decisions!
Good Government? 
In a perfect world we wouldn't need Women's Refuge Shelters, Food Banks etc.
