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.
Talking about "elections that can not be held" I am afraid Harvey Shorten appears to have missed our "jousting, or has he? He had forecast a possible election call before the gangs return from their winter "hols", but using the 33 day days minimum timing he is wrong.
On the same thing (wrong):
"hope you went and checked your portfolio "
especially if you hadn't noticed a "crisis"
Portfolio is fine, first FY 1/2 dividends: NAB, WBC, are 2.9% and 2.8% respectively, adding franking credits gives a yummy return this FY.
"crisis", what "crisis", or is that in the same basket as Harvey's election, non existent?
a change of subject matter OK 
yes, I have NAB too, and ANZ and WBC and MQG ( sold some of those though)
"a change of subject matter OK"
Quite happy to return to the previous topic, as it only requires some basic research to respond to anecdotes, and mistakes.
"did it hit 6000 yet as you were expecting it to?? nope"
Was I? Where? when? show me!
Again, what "crisis".? There must be a link somewhere to our dire situation, Fairfax, OS, UK, Jakarta Post etc?
