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.
Fairfax Media has confirmed that in the sit-down, Mr Turnbull stressed to the Prime Minister that he was completely removed from the recent spate of backbench agitators calling for a spill at Tuesday's party room meeting.
The Communications Minister, however, pressed the Prime Minister on how the government would extricate itself from its current leadership woes.
It's understood that in return, Mr Abbott repeated the key themes of his National Press Club speech.
Mr Turnbull is said to have been "underwhelmed" by Mr Abbott's reply. 
Some sources suggested that Mr Abbott sought assurances from Mr Turnbull that he would not seek the leadership if a party-room vote occurred next Tuesday, though others disputed this

Spooked Liberals in NSW are warning the federal leadership crisis threatens to derail their re-election campaign, as a federal Coalition minister conceded on Thursday that a spill motion against Prime Minister Tony Abbott is now likely.
Trade Minister Andrew Robb also joined the fray warning the government would look like political "amateurs" if rebel MPs force a leadership spill.
But Fairfax Media has learned a number of federal MPs are under pressure from state colleagues to line up behind Malcolm Turnbull and force a change, and to get it done quickly
