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.
After a record-setting four-year bull run
4 year bull run takes us back to when Labor were in govt.
so that's 50/50 under Labor/Liberal govts
it will be interesting to see if any companies listed on the ASX are turning a good profit this reporting season. I did expect the banks to do better
You "missed" this part from the C&P ( do you have any comments about it, or even the C&P?😞
NFF president Brent Finlay "said the extra federal funding for water infrastructure, included as part of the Government's drought package announced in February last year, had worked well."
Red tape can certainly decrease momentum when its inertia is high.
Why would you expect the banks to do better D9275? considering they have been on a "high" for a while?
"4 year bull run takes us back to when Labor were in govt."
"so that's 50/50 under Labor/Liberal govts"
How about ALL of the Circus period, for ALL of the ASX listed companies? It would seem that the Circus left us with a somewhat reduced XAO than what they inherited!
"it will be interesting to see if any companies listed on the ASX are turning a good profit this reporting season." Try Transurban, research even !

The day after the budget last year, Abbott threatened that if it did not pass he would call a double-dissolution election. The budget did not pass.
Threats and lies...
