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.
Can you forget (well some wish to, even insist we do), our past (sorry A3) Swan songing treasurer's : I promise you a surplus garden, I promise you a surplus garden, I promise you a surplus garden ?
There it is, I can see it quite plainly in the fiscal distance.

Is that 'cause you don't know the sources of the photos you posted?
I understand now why there is so much C&P from the Myops, very little effort is involved. Just like this little episode of C&P pictures.
I am concerned that the usual Kudos swap/tagging appears to be MIA, there has to be some reason?
