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 Turnbull Government today was forced to pause its attack on trade union lawlessness by the linking of a second minister to alleged law breaking by the NSW Liberal Party.
ooops!
The full list of the secret donors involved in almost $700,000 worth of payments at the heart of the NSW Liberal Party election donations scandal has been ยญrevealed in leaked financial records
(leaked to the Australian, right! )
NSW property developer Tim Gunasinghe, who donated through his company Printban Pty Ltd, has not ruled out launching legal action against the NSW Liberal Party and said he was also unaware his donation would be directed to the state division.
โWe were approached by them as a lobby group to help developers try to get through red tape,โ he told The Australian.
(that sounds a lot like bribery to me)
The NSW Liberal Party will offer to pay a fine of about $600,000 โ or equivalent to the amount of potentially unlawful donations โ when it meets the NSW Electoral Commission later this week to amend its 2011 ยญdonation disclosures and, in turn, it will ask the commission to ยญrelease the balanceยญ of the $4.3m in state funding that it has threatened to withhold.
The Liberal Party has not ruled out taking the commission to the Supreme Court if it continues to withhold the campaign funds needed for the upcoming federal campaign.
The move by the commission, which senior Liberals have describedยญ as โblackmailโ, has forced the partyโs hand.
LOL
oh dear! 
the 'age of entitlement" will never be over for some it seems
