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.
I could put two names to those two, except they are too cute looking 
I think the original names suit better !
"what's the 1936 tax law got to do with the current copyright laws - absolutely nothing" i stand by that"
"D9275 "umm. 1968.. I'm pretty sure the copyright act has been updated since then"
That is because you do not understand the concept of constant amendments to an original document (Act)
If a 1936 Act (not a law) is still relevant (as amended ) a reasonable person might deduce that the same would apply to all other Acts, (like a 1968 Act) and they would be right.
Really simple: the Australian Constitution of 1900 applies today, TOGETHER with amendments added since then.
These are cute too. I don't know much about cuddle pie/snuggle pie? May Gibbs? - care to share the background to your image? They look too cute to bear any resemblance to any of our current Abbott Govt pollies.

SMH article, today
A3: "Once your brand has been created, and before you apply it to your goods and services, make sure you formally register your trade mark. There's no point spending time and money using it in the marketplace only to find it doesn't meet the requirements of the registration process. Without trade mark registration you're leaving your brand vulnerable to copycats and you might unknowingly infringing on the IP rights of others."
At last a C&P, they have been missed, and make sense from a reliable source.
I have explained the use of parody exemption, pink flour, producing pink (MYOP acceptable) stuff , bit hard to follow?
The logo in the absence of registration ® or TM is nothing more than a specific image and as it is in Facebook it is free for all to use.
However the main legal test is if a reasonable person would consider that I have gained materially by posting (legally) the image, or if the cake shop had "lost" as a result of the image being displayed here.
Might even be considered free advertising.
Now the real problem is finding a "reasonable person"

Nup, that doesn't cut it.
Posting a random business logo (copyright to the designer of logo or maybe transfered to the business) from a Filipino bakery, and no satire included in post about Filipino's or bakeries or cakes... just doesn't make sense. Not at all relevant to a political thread on an Australian forum either.
As for satire/parody.. don't give up your day job.
"Would love to see you and Vicr discuss your views on climate change, it's such a shame you never have. You must've missed his earlier posts on the bribed scientists"
I would love to "discuss" share investments, basic economics and transfer pricing with you D9275 but that would also be fruitless in my opinion.
Going solo without a C&P safety-net that you can blame, or a handy Kudos tagging partner might be a problem.
