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.
Still awaiting the quote A3 . Meanwhile back to obuscation :
"But the discussion was about Twitter not the word twitter"
You mean the "discussion" that commenced last Thursday with?:
@monman12 wrote:Now for the Real World and not twittering.
G58: "You clearly have no idea what twitter is about."
Oh gosh, some clearly have no idea apropos verb/noun identification.
I do like one of the originators of Twitter (noun) Jack Dorsey's explanation :
...we came across the word 'twitter', (verb) and it was just perfect. The definition was 'a short burst of inconsequential information,' and 'chirps from birds'. And that's exactly what the product was . "Say no more" read this thread.
Repeat
A3: Actually Twitter is:
Twitter is an online social networking service that enables users to send and read short 140-character messages called "tweets".
Twitter was created in March 2006
Actually if you research (sorry), you would discover that "twitter" (verb) has been around and part of the language long before 2006:
1325-75; Middle English twiteren (v.); akin to German zwitschern.
I do think that this definition is somewhat apt:
Late 14c., twiteren, in reference to birds, of imitative origin. Eureka, that is why there are so many C&Ps sans comments.
verb
1.(intransitive) (esp of a bird) to utter a succession of chirping sounds
2.(intransitive) to talk or move rapidly and tremulously
3.(intransitive) to giggle: her schoolmates twittered behind their desks
"Say no more"
PS where is that quote I supposedly replied to? just do a C&P of it, easy, as you know.
Oh, I am still awaiting D9275's really bad/naughty polling company.
