We wonder if Margie will be joining the French party or steering well clear?
If we're all still talking about Ainsley Gotto nearly 50 years after she ran John Gorton's PMO, Abbott's Last Tango Near Paris will certainly be one for the history books.
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.
"Geez, I hope taxpayers aren't footing the bill for this"
It is so heartening to see some "interest" in matters concerning the burden taxpayers might possibly have to shoulder. However, I decided to read the link in full (research) and also its FR reference and noticed this:
"..........So, about that Margaret Thatcher lecture that Tony Abbott is delivering in London on Tuesday night – you know, the privately funded trip............" Phew!
Oh gosh my actual researching also uncovered this, which was mentioned above:

Snow business as Prime Minister Tony Abbott hits the slopes with Peta Credlin and daughter Frances
"where is your information about his ski trip with peta Credlin being privately funded??"
Oh gosh is Google broken again?
News.com
The speculation is he might also be able to schedule a royal meeting during the private visit.
The FR is normally adept with facts ( and grimy innuendo in that link), but as you say it is "tongue in cheek", would that mean the whole post is also, or just the imagined/yummy bits?
Harvey Shorten was recently roused from his lay-by and also attempted to play the person, which was a complete failure judging by his recent poll figures, is it just a diversionary tactic when nothing else is working, or do the ALP also have a broken Google connection?
