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.
anyone for a bit of a challenge?
staying on the current gov topic of course.
can you spot the mistakes?
so far i have found 6.
can you do better? 
photoshopped?? or is it just that he doesn't like wearing a red tie??
Gosh, in the middle of the ALP/ACTU choreographed talk-fest where, 3 of what I suspect will be part of their election platform programmes have been aired, what do we have for the cathartic MYOPS?, photographs (not one live either).
I do miss the Captain and the original lieutenants, their posts were often so outrageous as to be worth a chuckle or two.
My favourite Minuscule character.
I have "missed" the C&P sans comments, I do understand how easy it is though.
UNIONS including the militant CFMEU donated more than $1.6 million to the Victorian Labor Party as it prepared to battle the Coalition in last year’s state election.
Victorian Labor received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from unions including the CFMEU, NUW, AWU and SDA.
At the same time businesses, big tobacco and gaming giants donated to the Liberal Party.
The CFMEU’s Victorian construction division — headed by Secretary John Setka — gave Labor $139,350.
On top of this the national office of the CFMEU gave Labor $195,000.
ABC 4 Feb 2014,
"The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), which is facing allegations of links to the criminal underworld, donated substantially to Labor Party branches across Australia."
You would think that the ALP/ACTU would have noticed that if you "milk" union members funds for your election expenses like Thomson did (and extracurricular unions) you do not have to declare them to the AEC.
However rather than accepting $-largesse from gaming companies, Poor Me handed out some of her own with a forked tongue promise to Wilkie to obtain his support, which she quickly reneged upon after luring Slipper into the paddock.
Indeed , Clubs NSW, which represents the cashed-up, pokie dominated clubs of NSW, certainly did contribute funds (to both parties), but Gillard sold her soul to Clubs NSW when she reneged upon her written agreement with Wilkie.
