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.
Chuckle!
Indeed it is actually really quite difficult to get any original comments from some regarding the news of the day. Lots of C&Ps of others comments, but a dearth of originality!

Oh I am crushed. However, I do appreciate the efforts to post without the safety net of a C&P. Practice will help a lot over time.

Shows what numpties they are.
A special mention for my pick as perhaps the most inane comment in the budget papers starts the summary of the Northern Australia infrastructure subsidy: "A strong north means a strong nation."
Well that makes it easy โ just pour all our budget into the Top End and forget the rest of the country as it will be strong if the north is.

The chuckle is so appropriate in this post.
The irony of a bunch of over used unoriginal images that have spammed the thread for months to attack other poster for their lack of originality is too funny for words. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
