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 if you want to talk about confused.
Mr Moriatis didn't know if the notes he says he wrote and lost were in a note book, on a few pages, or on a piece of paper.

Didn't see it but LOL at Miriam Gargolyes comment.
Big deal about the following, applies to a lot of people.
Prime ministerial colleague and supporter Josh Frydenberg, who wisely noted that "I'm in a minority here", waxed lyrical about his boss' decency and qualities as a father, husband and upstanding member of his local community.

Gleee her 2013 snap shot report is also on-line. I guess the best way to research is by looking directly at the HRC site. I had read that SMH article MM12 posted an exert from last week but I didn't notice the word ALLEGED in that article when I first read it. So much has been written about it, sometimes it's hard to distingish between the facts and the fiction

I did have a quick look on-line this morning for it Am, but oddly enough the only articles were from The Australian, I find it really funny that the RW complain so loudly about quanda. but they always watch it
when Frydenberg described abbott as "decent" the audience roared with laughter. ( so did we at home)
