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.

Yes, which is why I said it - and listed all the groups she would get the vote for.
I don't even think "Brown nose" Bob (Brown) would have acheived that many.

hey Boris, not sure if you're here, but team Australia somehow reminds me of those short films my friend made.
would you believe a TV company in America has purchased it. he is writing the pilot for it right now
I don't get why American's would buy it, they don't understand our ways I thought. Unless he's adapting it be more *American*. I'll have to ask him next time I see him. I do know he was invited to Canberra to show it a few weeks ago

Why do you say "not particularly fit or athletic" ?
Word through the military is he can hold his own against the younger blokes.
word is that he is like most bullies, a coward.
Failure as a boxer - is that the "close your eyes and think of England" style. Though he did knock sloppy out although I hear that was a king hit, like I said...coward.
