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.

"three pennyworth" ?? Inflation perhaps? "my two-penn'orth."
There is a well known saying that "actions speak louder than words" :-
"MALCOLM Turnbull has made a subtle comment on the Bronwyn Bishop trainwreck by pointedly revealing how he travelled from Melbourne to Geelong."
"The Communications Minister made the journey by rail, in contrast to the $5000 chartered helicopter trip taken by Mrs Bishop, a flight which is putting her hold on the Speaker’s office in doubt."
Turnbull also "tweeted" the trip, and there just happened to be media around !
That speaks volumes in itself, hardly "Turnbull lying low" but "broadcasting" in style!
PS
how does Harvey Shorten appeal?
