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.
I'll raise you one
he said No changes to GST along with the other things (live)
"I beg your pardon but last night's 7.30 report abbott interview was pre-recorded and so are his interviews on andrew bolt... if you don't believe me, write to them and ask
Pardon not granted, because your comment was: " they are all pre-recorded and edited" using the indefinite adjective "ALL" means: without exception, and that is not correct (codswallop).

Rock bottom again and asking (begging) for a pick-axe! The actual reply was "pardon not granted" chuckle.
I have just watched SBS news, and the ABC version. Oh gosh it appears "all" of it is pre-recorded, and even Harvey Shorten burbling to the party faithful is not live, I mean his utterances, not Harvey himself.
"this is going to take some beating."
At least the "bar" is set at its lowest point !
How about this, a few notches up I would consider. " Australia's Julia Gillard gets a minister happy to tell a TV interviewer that whatever his prime minister said, he agrees – even if he doesn't know what it was."
""I haven't seen what she's said, but let me say I support what it is she said."
" Pressed by an astonished presenter to confirm he backed his boss even though he didn't know what she'd said, he nodded: "I support what she said ... My view is what the prime minister's view is." A new record in on-message obedience?"
That should warm the cockles of your heart G58, a completely subservient male, who is about to go full astern .
