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.

Re: Diary of our stinking Govt.

I don't read AIMN either, so I don't think I've posted anything from there, I mainy use the age and smh and Guardian unless there is a particular story of interest in another paper like the one I posted from Jakarta Post. Would be interested to know if I've posted anything from the aim thanks MM12.


am, I think any articles posted here from The aim would've been a very long time ago perhaps the OP did? The thread is over a year old now and who really cares anyway. More believable than the likes of bolt or rowan Dean or Miranda Devine anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

"I will raise you a Harvey Shorten , somewhere. (Circus side show perhaps?):

 

No idea who Harvey Shorten is.

 

He is a close relative of Harvey Norman in that he is at least 2 years interest free, and currently is on extended lay-by, somewhere.

Yes, I don't mind  what is posted- (apart from FB post quotes from random unnamed strangers, Bolt & Pickering (daddy bloggers). New Matilda is good for 'hot' scoops.

 

Just pointing out double standards from those who do like to make a fuss about sources/links.

That doesn't make sense, not to adults anyway. Anyone posting here has to be over 18 years old. And most are able to call people by their correct name.

Yes, it's good to have a read around other sites, or see the links to them when looking at other things.
