Diary of our stinking Govt.

[boris1gary]

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 the relevance of that to the current Gov't ?

Lucky the Abbott Gov't has got so many Children out of detention since they took over Gov't

or the numbers would be so much higher.

I think this one is more appropriate Polks 😄

  Agree.  I think I see a resemblance between the lead singer and you know who.

And I don't mean Cash.  Love Cash.

No, was toying with you.

I'd hate to see what the sexual assault figures looked like when you had 2000 Children in detention.

Maybe the Libs should read the forgotten children report instead of shooting the messenger and then we'd all know.

hahahahha 

When called out on an error attack, "it was a joke".

Yeah, attack the topic not wage a personal attack on who wrote it.

[vicr3000]

The Gov't didn't commit the assaults ?

Or are you going to say the ministers popped over and did it themselves ?

[vicr3000]

And now they want to blame harrassment of Muslim women on Abbott as well.

He sure is a talented bloke for all he is being blamed for !
