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.
How very very interesting !!!. Now a realty check (sorry) :
It would appear that selective C&Ps are again on view, or just truncated perhaps? In the article I discovered these comments:
"According to AEC records, the Free Enterprise Foundation has declared the $200,000 donation but the federal Liberal Party has not.......................A spokesman for the AEC said the commission did not comment on individual cases................."The primary intention of the financial disclosure scheme is to achieve disclosure and that intention has been met in this instance," he said."
Some history in the same vein:
SMH 23013
The Labor caucus has endorsed reforms to the way political parties are funded amid criticism from independent MP Andrew Wilkie that the the government and Coalition have done a "grubby deal" over the changes.
SMH 2013:
"The ALP disclosed total donations of $131,500, although donors said they gave $912,891.
I do wonder at the (self-righteous ) comments often expressed mainly by the Myops apropos politics, when if they removed their pink filters they might notice that both colours behave in similar fashion.

It is somewhat "paradoxical" that the above image could be also applied to BOTH parties view (and rightly so) of a hip-pocket sensitised electorate bleating: "gimme gimme".

Not every household is a one income household you know.
Anyone that follows unemployment trends are well aware of how seasonal, casual part time jobs can alter the data.
Whoopie - fruit picking jobs increase the number of jobs available for a few months a year.. how exciting for everyone looking for a full time job.
I'll comment on what I want to comment on, especially if the information is public domain.
if you aren't a one income household, that answers a lot then doesn't it.
Do YOU EVER intend to get a job where the salary is more then $50,000 ?
Sitting at the computer all day making comments on social media doesn't pay much, unfortunately.
It would appear that sitting at the computer all day making comments on social media is better paid for by an employer
Er, Icy works for herself and so do I.
