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.

By the way, it wasn't murder.
No one gives a carp about Reza's death.
To use Sarah Hanson Youngs words, "Tragedies happen, accidents happen"
Move on, nothing important to see here.

Funny how you focus on an anti Abbott part, I just posted the same article and said that this is why we need to
whack these nut jobs very hard and very fast.
Not one comment from you about what he was going to do.
If it is not that important to you or you don't believe it is important, care to volunteer yourself as the first "victim" ?
Might focus your mind on what is important instead of the fluff.
abbott is supposed to be an ex lawyer isn't he?? has he got any brains or not?
I don't think abbott has ever been a lawyer.

I just checked Gleee and you're right, looks like he only ever worked as a cadet journo at newscorpse
he's got a law degree though, and should've known that it's stupid to jeopordize a case
