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.

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!
haha! Not from you obviously!
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.

I completely overlooked Slipper's appeal win I must admit..
"Thanks Glee, I didn't realize he'd won his appeal. Trumped up charge anyway when you compare it to the rorting of others still in politics" (or the others out of politics like Craig Thomson, or the jailed past President of the ALP Williamson)
How exactly can a charge, laid by the Australian Federal Police, be trumped up?
In the appeal Justice Burns said one flaw in the case was that two material witnesses were not called. ... Justice Burns said the prosecution should have called them, to shed light on whether he was on parliamentary business or not.

Irony?, unoriginal? We would appear to use somewhat different lexicons, especially if you are alluding to:
I would assert that they actually are true originals, as for Irony in their use, "chuckle is so appropriate"
I will conclude with another "original" siggy produced by a poster from CW days, David.

I am on a roll now, and have dug up some more siggies / avatars made for me in the past by some in CW . Perhaps I should use them in turn when responding to the political malodorous C&P twitter herein.
