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.
"A FEDERAL government blitz on foreign-born criminals has led to the deportation of 270 offenders - among them sex predators and cold-blooded murderers"
"Hundreds of criminals face deportation to New Zealand........... including killers, sex offenders, drug dealers and outlaw bikies"
One of those statements is dated Aug 2015, and the other Sep 2011 ! (guess which)
regurgitating, or a slow news day/week ?
BSD: "Including one woman, 9 month sentence for theft, who has lived here since she was three years old - she's now forty.
"Ms Russell is also mother to a four-year-old boy, who lives with his grandmother on the Sunshine Coast. She has reportedly previously served time for 'similar offences'."
In Russell's case several prior convictions dating back as far as 2008 were taken into account, along with a six-month suspended sentence.
In 2011, the United Nations Human Rights Committee condemned Australia's practice of deporting non-citizens as a violation of international law. This was in relation to the 2006 deportation of Stefan Nystrom, who'd arrived in the country three weeks after being born and was deported to Sweden at the age of 33 Nystrom had a checkered past, having served numerous terms in Australian prisons.
A slow political week I guess, not a whiff of any juicy C&Ps !
