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.Woman Happy

 

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 wonder if that ray hadley bloke will get the sack after threatening violence on his radio rant - imagine if that had been anyone not considered a mouthpiece for the far righters.

 

Can't see this new bloke lasting long, didn't he get the memo from the abbott about science being a waste of time and money.

Pity the chattering Abbott fans don't try and address some of the issues posted in previous posts, instead of getting into a hysterical outrage about a former PM's book release.

that they haven't read...hahahahahahahahahaahhahaha, let them outrage, publicity is publicity. I just brought Mr Swans book, my daughter just finished Ms Gillards and she is raving about how brilliant it was but how it reminded her of just how disgustingly she was treated by the far righters and their media backers.

I have serious concerns about how foolishly arrogant our pm is, I don't think accusations should be repeated over and over, wait for the investigation to be over. The very last para is too much to comment on without using banned words.

 

Dmitry Medvedev calls on Tony Abbott to tone down comments after threat to 'shirt-front' Vladimir Putin


"As you know, I will be having a very robust discussion with him about the 38 innocent Australians who were murdered by Russian-backed rebels using Russian supplied equipment," Mr Abbott said.

 

And in a pointed, wry reference to Mr Putin as "my friend", he said the Russian leader would be housed at a luxurious hotel while in Australia.

 

"Well, look, my friend will be staying in a fine hotel, I'm sure. I'm sure that will be a comfort to him after the robust conversations that he will have."

A sacked Victorian Liberal adviser has alleged Coalition MPs and advisers were involved in a pornography ring in the Treasury Place offices.

Don Coulson was an adviser to former premier Ted Baillieu but was sacked shortly after Denis Napthine took power.

He is suing the Government for wrongful dismissal.

"Pity the chattering Abbott fans don't try and address some of the issues posted in previous posts"

 

I think the term should be "chuckling" when you consider the many  unresearched C&P posts from self styled "Independent" on-line sources with their citizen journalists, or another favourite: the "red rag media".

 

Pity the chattering pink myopics don't try and address some facts (sorry) within the issues posted in previous posts"
