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.

Have a nice day
WHY? That's just disruptive and trolling type behaviour. There are hundreds of threads about how bad Gillard and Rudd were that can be used to attack Gillard and Rudd. This one is about the current govt not the previous.
It was a polite idea to keep all the griping about abbott and co in one thread rather than the dozen new ones that were posted each day about the previous govt. Why? because some posters dislike a dozen new political threads each day.
Btw, the you lot to whom you refer are not members of the current or previous govt. Are you old enough to understand the difference between personal and political conversations? There is no you lot. We are just random posters having a conversation.

I am not part of any lot.
Why did LNP lose so badly in VIC & QLD? Abbott factor had a big part in that as well.

Yes, there were and still could be new ones. The old ones have done to death the Rudd/Gillard stuff repeated here ad nauseam.
The only reason to keep bringing it up here is to try and stop others discussing the failures of Tony Abbott.. and his Govt.. not going to work.

Can't wait for March 28, NSW election now. Wonder if TA will still be PM by then? If so, the NSW LNP will have to hide him away.
