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.
"The ASX is NOT the real world parliament. Far from it. And the majority of economists still say the budget was a dud. They only ones who don't are those paid up members of the LNP old boys club."
What no old girls club? oh dear!
Q: Why did God create economists?
A: In order to make weather forecasters look good.
I live in the real world and also enjoy a few chuckles here in the quasi world of C&Ps and the he/she said posts if it appeals to a bias.
However, the ASX/XAO is Australia's real (business) parliament. because it runs on facts and real figures, not what people say. (like here?)
Established in January 1980, the All Ordinaries (colloquially, the "All Ords"; also known as the All Ordinaries Index, AOI) is the oldest index of shares in Australia, so called because it contains nearly all ordinary (or common) shares listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
XAO
5,917.60 
40.30(0.69%) 16:38 when will it reach 6000?

"Realisitically, the ASX is not booming because the economy is going gang busters now is it? Almost reporting season too. I bet the only ones making money are the banks"
Actually the ASX is doing well , just like XAO.
So in your opinion D9275 you bet that only the banks are making money.?
CHUCKLE, I will take that bet.
Do you feel sorry for the other 2200 listed companies in the ASX who will not make any money? I know, ignore facts, blame the current malodorous Govt
