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.
Abbott & LNP: Blame women, blame Labor, blame Senate, blame ABC, blame Muslims or refugees blame welfare recipients , the AMA, doctors, the Western Australia Uni, blame anyone but who you should blame. yourselves.
Interesting D9275, the time of Poor Me and the Circus. Apart from the constant whinging that Tony and the boys called her names there were these:
Gillard blames others for shortcomings
Gillard blamed Labor Party enemies for slush fund
Julia Gillard blames Tony Abbott for asylum boat arrivals Gillard blames 'negative' Abbott for abuse Gillard blames states for failed mining tax Gillard blames Queensland for soaring electricity costs Gillard blames Tony Abbott for failed Malaysia swap deal Gillard blames Abbott for Afghan row Gillard blames ABC Learning collapse for broken childcare Gillard blames the states for energy price rises Gillard blames Serco for Villawood escape Gillard blames Howard for skills drop Gillard 'Blames Us All'
"Deflection. The discussion is about YOUR post, re slipper. If you researched before you posted, you wouldn't have posted misleading, incorrect information."
Actually the debate now encompasses more than making a plain mistake, and which you seek to avoid A3. Namely that I had admitted to making a plain yes/no mistake, whereas in the past you have not, even when you deliberately manufactured a wrong post, or even when an inadvertent incorrect post was pointed out, you childishly attempt to avoid any acknowledgement of either, and then post:
"Admitting wrong means nothing" (would make a suitable epitaph)
But this is "The Sandpit"
Joe Hockey fires back at the AMA's Brian Owler
Treasurer Joe Hockey has launched a blistering attack on Australian Medical Association president Brian Owler's "extreme" criticism of the prime minister, while defending a federal government decision to help fund a new medical school in Perth.
But Tony Abbott stopped short of endorsing his treasurer's comments, stressing he had a great deal of respect for the doctors' body and instead responding to the specific policy concerns raised by Dr Owler.
A3::RESEARCH before posting - then you wouldn't be posting misleading information (about Mr Slipper, which my posts are specifically referring to).
When you make a mistake in a posting (and life) ADMIT it.
When you fabricate a post and are caught -out, ADMIT it
Don't FABRICATE posts
This personal philosopy (however often it is applicable) "Admitting wrong means nothing" would be best relinquished.
