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.
"Oh I see. I decided to read your post. You're saying that it's your right to query a source, but I shouldn't
OK.. That fits, how very democratic of you
I guess that you might live in a parallel universe D9275
I posted this:
"New rule: "You'd better not complain about anyone else's sources again" If you spend a microsecond considering that, you might realise that you have now complained about the source, your right (possibly even old "Acts") and I will continue to question others sources as I see fit."
What do you think this part means: "......you have now complained about the source, your right .........." Hint, the part : your right.
Reminds me of law and the ubiquitous "reasonable person" !!!!!..
"Why do you only post on this thread when there are plenty of others to post on?"
Because it is a chuckle.
Only post on this thread? I guess you are either averse to research, new to the Board, are not interested in science, aviation, meteorology, or the real world?

Where is TRBAG 
G58: "So the iron ore price is an acceptable excuse while hokey is treasurer,"
Well what was good for the SWAN is good for the gander!!!
"With an iron ore price like this, it is going to lower nominal growth," said former treasurer Wayne Swan, whose time in charge of the national purse was also bedevilled by iron ore price volatility.
"You'd have to say [the Abbott Government] would be starting to think that they've got a bigger challenge on their hands than they would have thought at budget time," said Mr Swan.

"trerasurer" Hockey was way out in his iron ore price prediction in December
It obviously rubbed off from "I promise you a surplus, surplus, surplus garden" Swan:
Prices for the commodity, which is subject to the tax, are now below $130 a tonne.
Mr Swan said the price would have a bearing on the money generated through the MRRT.
"It's always been the case that price is one of the factors which impacts on revenue through the MRRT as well as volumes and sales," he told reporters in Cairns on Thursday.
"But you can't sit around and do your calculations on revenue based on what might happen at any one given week.
"We adjusted our estimates for the MRRT in the budget this year and we'll adjust them in the normal year in the mid-year budget update."
