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.

It's a photo of this country's pathetic PM and his MP's. It was in the link debra posted that we have been discussing.

Turnbull looks peeved off by the shenanigans and the abuse of Triggs. Bananaby is getting out of his seat and they're moving to the other side for a division. I wonder who he's winking at ๐ That seems to be the latest thing so one day he can say "I always wink, so questions about that one wink prove biased reporting, blah blah blah the media is out to get me and alwys have been wah wah wwah."

I am looking at the same thing. Read the caption by the photographer,
It kind of says who was squeezing past whom.
Just because you want to twist it into an anti Abbott photo
Just shows what type of person you are, on top of what
We already know
Shorten should not have to squeeze past the PM posing with his feet wide apart to get to his own chair.
A dignified PM would not put on the aggressive stance to block another member's seat.

Yes, it means you are trying to apply an anti Abbott tag to a photo
That shows anything but Abbott bullying.
In other words, telling porkies again.
Published to keep little people like you amused.
Dumb is a good word for you to use. Yes, it applies to Abbott;s last two weeks, 17 months, longer probably
It was deb you accused of applying a 'bullying tag' to that other photo with Shorten in it anyway. Lack of sleep impairing your attention span?
I agree with Deb's tag.
