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.
"More waste of public money. Next the new building will be half empty because Abbott Govt's massive public service job cuts"
"That is not having a go at the public servants, as was the accusation."
Let me explain G58 " More waste of public money " means, within the post, that the Dept. of Finance are wasting public money. There are 1806 of them (13-14) within the "Department" , all Public Servants.

Did you appreciate this, in your C&P ?
"Coalition and Labor politicians on the committee, which will hand a report to parliament, were unconvinced Finance's impending move represented value for money.
Gosh A3, you have decided to have a go at the Public Sevice now (Treasury) ? Canberra is a union bastion city !!!!
NO. That is your spin.
Current Govt waste... there have been other articles posted here in the past about Govt paying leases for empty buildings... recent one about new lease was signed when the building was about to be vacated as staff are moving to a new building.
......................were unconvinced Finance's impending move represented value for money = Waste of public funds
p.s (general comment). I don't hate anyone by the way.Such a childish way to communicate accusing others of hate etc.
Facts are facts, nothing to do with twisting. Who are you trying to convince??. I am sure Monman can form his own opinions.
Abbott is the PM, himself and his current Govt are going to attract criticism.. time to accept that and move on and not put your own spin on others comments re hate etc.. that is all false.
