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.
I would suggest you check, because Slipper's history is well documented, and his peccadilloes were known to both sides of politics (they both do it) "what happens in Canberra stays in Canberra"
What brought things to a head was the "lovers tiff" he had with Ashby, who then made things OFFICIAL by lodging a Federal Court affidavit which had to be investigated and subsequently heard.
"Mr Slipper stood aside as Speaker of the House of Representatives two weeks after a staff member, James Ashby, filed a complaint in the Federal Court of sexual harassment, which included details of lewd text messages and allegations Mr Slipper had handed over signed Cabcharge dockets with blank amounts."
here it is.... due to recent developments (involving MP's and their families) it's now the Employers who are the Scammers
Joe Hockey has characterised employers who change their parental leave schemes to ensure workers maintain the same level of benefits as trying to “scam” the government and the taxpayer.
I hope some journo has film of him calling them scammers in his interview this morning, so he can't deny it tomorrow 
Oh, and I forgot Wyatt Roy's involvement.... You really should do your research and see Where Ashby "appeared" from. MM 12. . I wonder if just anyone without any prior experience could get a job as a staffer.
Perhaps C&Ps do have a certain logical attraction!
Wonder not and do some research! As for Roy, what involvement of import would that be D9275? (exclude hearsay)
What on earth does "Where Ashby "appeared" from. MM 12" have to do with the start of this "guilt by association " that you appear to promote?
The whole matter "blew up" because Ashby went to the Federal Police, all the twitterings apropos early alleged associations have nothing to do with the post complaint investigations.
"Hasn't Slipper been cleared?" NO!
"Former federal parliamentary speaker Peter Slipper has been found guilty in the ACT Magistrates Court on three counts of dishonesty over the misuse of his parliamentary Cabcharge allowance.
