Diary of our stinking Govt.

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.Woman Happy

 

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.

Old Malcy babes must be so not smart. Seems he keeps forgetting all those things he once believed and said.
In 2005 our inglorious leader said that negative gearing is "tax evasion". Now he loves negative gearing.
I don't know about what others think of this right honourable member (what a joke that label is) but I find him worse than Abbott. Old Malcy has shown himself in the past to be a thinker but he is proving to be a stinker. While with Abbott as soon as he opened his mouth years ago as minister for health that he was, is and never will be capable of thought

Oh the hypocrisy. Apparently "work for the dole" doesn't work but they are only going to abolish it for under 25's.
So any unemployed person that is older than 25 is still going to have to do "work for the dole".
Quite obviously wasting their time and millions of taxpayers dollars.
