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.
"am, oddly enough, some think we actually wrote the articles in the links we post" No , original contributions are somewhat rare.
Actually I expect people to read/research what they copiously C&P, then proof read what they write here, because in reproducing others work (often selectively) you are endorsing its authenticity, even if you have to "prize" the information from your source or it has nor been around for 10 years!
All Ords over the last 2 "smelly" years.
"Pulling something out of the top of ones head is making it up."
That is worthy of a 10 year chuckle .
