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.

We should all be very wary of anyone brandishing a bicycle 
"Jobs rose by 37,400 in December, with total jobs created in the last three months of 2014 coming in at 99,000,
the highest outcome in four years."
Now, wasn't his pledge a million jobs in 5 years ?
By my calculations that is 100,000 a year ?
Well Abbott failed again, didn't he ? He only created 99,000 
Take into account that not much he could have done about the first 2 - 3 months of being in office,
that is close to 100,000 jobs created in 9 months.
