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.
so funny isn't it 
I just hope that the rest of the world understands that these bullies that are our current govt. do not speak and act on my behalf
Yes, it is.
That's why I always laugh at the toothless tigers on their high and mighty horses.
All full of rights, often for the wrong people (terrorists, perps) but little in the way for Victims.
End result, plenty don't take any notice.

Come on Glee, you know what Rule No 1 is.
Don't leave any incriminating evidence around that they can hang you with
Had to go round once collecting "papers" to save the backside of a senior officer once.
No paper, couldn't hang him
When questions moved on to other issues, I asked the PM whether the deployment of troops to Iraq was discussed at a dinner on November 25.
Attendees included the US ambassador, the chief of staff to the US Air Force and the Australian secretary of Defence. Abbott’s press secretary quickly called “last question”, putting an end to any follow up to John Lyons’ story in The Weekend Australian. Let’s not dig any deeper there.
That was it, aside from another broadside at Human Right Commission president Gillian Triggs. The PM and his entourage headed straight back to Sydney airport, returning to the nation’s capital for question time.
Good government continues.
