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.
Oh gosh, A Sunday sermon in the form of a citizen blogger/journalist from the (independent of ?) AIMN
"The AIMN is a platform for citizen journalists and bloggers to write and engage in an independent media environment."
"The Australian Independent Media Network is for writers wanting to take up the fight against the mainstream media."
As much as I often expect others opinions to be only C&P posts, what thoughts B1G do you actually have regarding just one or two of the blogger's comments. i.e.:
"Tony Abbott is under pressure to turn around his sinking, rudderless ship.........."
"They are sick of the negativity and lack of vision............"
Proof required this is a photoshopped photo please.

Did they photoshop this one also? ( Yes, boris, tacky fake photoshopped photo as well." No, really? Like this one?).. The one above that refers to.
Following the service, Tony Abbott joined the veterans on a walk to another ceremony at the Bayeux Cemetery.
Locals lined the streets in glorious sunshine, applauding the soldiers as they went by while others simply said “thank you.”
Mr Abbott chatted with the Prince of Wales along the way, before stopping at the graves of Flight Sergeant Malcolm Robert Burgess and Pilot Officer Roland Gilbert Ward, two of the 14 Australians killed in battle on D-Day.
