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.
the Australian is paywalled to me but this is an exerpt from it
in here is the list of of medical procedures on chopping block
and just a few points from this article
Doctors have criticised the Turnbull government for using the Christmas-New Year holiday period to reveal the first tranche of items to be dropped from the government-subsidised Medicare Benefits Schedule.
But Health Minister Sussan Ley insisted the established taskforces were always due to report back in "late 2015", accusing the Australian Medical Association of "misleading Australians" on the matter.
well, they couldn't have announced it much later in 2015 than now 
doctors are 'misleading Australians"? I don't think so
The government has proposed to no longer subsidise the injection of local anaesthetic during the removal of tonsils, for example.
it's mainly children who have their tonsils out- so I don't understand why they would cut this one
