Diary of our stinking Govt.

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.Woman Happy

 

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 has been kind of quiet since just before Easter Am, abbott must've been gagged. He seems to be choosing his words a bit more carefully and his wife has even done a women's magazine interview .   Trying to change his image as the next fed. election draws closer I suspect.

 

 

the budget will be interesting


Yes, he seems to be on a tight lease pre-budget.

 

As for Margie, to take a fast reverse on her preference to stay out of the limelight and not accompany the PM to many engagements seems fake to start doing those things now to, as you say, project a better image. ( spurred on by the leadership spill attempt).
