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.

Mr Abbott is asked about the budget.
He goes all metaphorical and manages to - finally - link his membership of the Davidson Rural Fire Service brigade to matters economic.
"Labor were the fire," Mr Abbott says. "The instant the Coalition, the fire brigade, showed up the emergency ceased."
Err no... the disaster got much worse when the fire brigade showed up (Coalition).
it never fails to give him a bit of a boost in the polls 
when he really needs it
Kevin Andrews always looks like he had lemons for breakfast, in those official photos (as in j'10s photo).
8 Flag day
Is he not enjoying being Minister of Defence? Or is having to stand there and listen to Abbott talking too much for him?
