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.
Whether I posted after you or not, I wasn't responding to you... I remember it was polks. I was responding to:
"Oh, wasn't it me who posted Antony Green's article on why an early election couldn't be called? You must've missed my post..... That seems to happen a lot"
Actually if you had read Green's article you would have noticed that he never stated that "an early election couldn't be called , you must've missed that part.
As for your Google link to Windsor 2009 you might have missed that the article is headed:
Mining and the Liverpool Plains
The fight continues to disallow mining activities in the Liverpool Plains until
scientific knowledge of the groundwater and surface water is fully
understood.
Note the sensible qualification: "until"
Windsor is/was a level headed astute politician and he would not flatly oppose a mining development (unlike some) without calling for hydrological survey.
Making definitive statements without support calls for a challenge, and these answers are genuine chuckle material:
" I remember them very well so not neccessary for me to search for them.".
"I don't feel I have to "prove " anything to anyone as I already know..."
well, golly gosh 
you said (post 13701)
BJ has done well maintaining his "fake" outrage for 6 years, and Windsor has his own political misinformation agenda which the MYOPS will quote, sans checking.
gleee said (post 13718)
The water trigger is about protecting the water system at risk from inappropriate coal mines.
It has always been about large coal mines in the Liverpool Plains area, as well as other areas. Mr Windsor has voiced his concerns numerous times about the Watermark/Shehua mine and expressed his concern about any new large mines on the Plains impact on the water resource.
I said (post 13729)
it sure does prove what you posted Glee, he has always said he does not oppose mining however he opposed this mine because of the potential damage it can do to the water system
so do you mean and Windsor has his own political misinformation agenda which the MYOPS will quote, sans checking.
OR
Windsor is/was a level headed astute politician and he would not flatly oppose a mining development (unlike some) without calling for hydrological survey
does he have his own political misinformation agenda or is he a level headed astute politician??
"it was demanded for 2 days that I "prove" that Tony Windsor fought this mine for a very long time"
And you still have not demonstrated that. Windsor has consistently expressed the view that he requires assurances that the aquifer will not be adversely affected
Love the reference to "six degrees", "slightly" biased?
The Six Degrees campaign works with communities and groups across the state to reduce Queensland’s dependence on the coal industry
"But independent federal MP Tony Windsor says the decision will only strengthen the communities resolve, and warned BHP Billiton to prepare for renewed civil disobedience."
"Windsor has demonstrated a long term commitment to the Liverpool Plains Blockade, which has now been in place for more than 10 months and has had over 3000 attendees."
Gosh considering the couple of items above were produced in 2009 it is somewhat of an exaggeration to say it was, after 10 months, a : long term commitment to the Liverpool Plains , also if you consider, it was Windsor's "commitment" to the "blockade"
A definitive statement should stand up to scrutiny, so far the comment that Windsor has opposed "the mine" per se for a long time does not, he wisely uses a qualification, he is a politician
Simply put: Windsor does not want mining IF it mucks up the water.
