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 have been thinking about crissy pains resigning and heres a thought.
he was very involved in south australia 'winning' the contract to build the next batch of subs, and made huge mileage from the plan politically.
telling us how many billions of $s and how many south aussie jobs it would create.
i recent times some cracks have been apearing in the plan, how much would be built here and more importantly how many locals would find employment on the project.
maybe the truth is going to be revealed in the next period of govt, particularly if labor win and open the box with the details of the contracts.
maybe mr pains promises were lets say a bit fudgy?
maybe he wants to be somewhere far far away when the shyte hits the fan?
only a thought on my behalf but it fits.

The libs don't like quotas but, in the interests of diversity, they are now appointing robots as ministers. These lifelike machines have been carefully programmed to blame Bill Shorten for everything:

Apparently the AAP is now entirely made up of LNP appointees, stacking up every where now they're certain they are going to be dumped in a big way at the Election

Scott Morrison tells Waleed Aly he always sought to confront Islamophobia, not exploit it
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-21/scott-morrison-attacks-waleed-aly-editorial/10927226
he cant say there is even 1 'convicted' rapist or murderer on manus because there are no convicted rapists and murderers on manus.
however it cant be broven there are no rapists and murderers amongst 'boat' people ariving so we just treat them all as rapists and murderers, it works to scare the public.

the whole 'make muslims the enemy' started when the twin towers were destroyed.
john howard joind the 'good guys' in bringing obama bin laden to 'justice' by killing a hundred thousand muslims before finding him.
does anyone actually know if old OBL actually had anything to do with the Twin Towers destruction?
george w bush said he did and that was good enough for johnny.
george also said iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
so australia joined in the anahilation of Iraq and then moved on to afganisatan and syria, killing how many innocent people?
all the time the public being told 'we are ridding the world of these evil people'
then we had the boat people, and didnt the 'kids overboard' work well for johnnys re-election?
so why stop, just keep feeding bulldust to the masses how these muslims will murder us in our beds if we let them in.
so now we have **bleep** for tat extremists on both sides randomly killing people to? well basically to get back at the other side for what they see as wrong doing.
fine, but hey, go kill the ones doing the evil, not the innocent bystanders.
the people in the lynt cafe never hurt anyone and as far as i know neither did the people in christchurch.
