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.

Abbott when discussing whether to make NT a state, said it would be no big trouble to change the 6 point star (on the flag) to a 7 point star.
We've got a live one, that's for sure.

That really is almost unbelievable. I thought it was a joke until I saw it. How did we get such an abomination as PM?
Doesn't everyone know how many points the federation star has had since the early 1900s? It's taught in primary school. He truly is an idiot.

Someone here didn't understand the comparison with Dubya. That clip should explain.
So inarticulate for someone in his position.
