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.

It doesn't matter, my comments stand regardless of his gender. In any case, **bleep** has gender got to do with it ?
If you are up to the job, then do it.
I agree but the lefties and greens like quotas and have a care factor if the woman is up to the job or not.... Gillard was a perfect example of being NOT up to the job
and another example of the labor quota system is Tanya Plibersek... simply not up to the job
Does lolly legs leghorn ring a bell? the emphasis being on the initals of Lolly Legs. Same MO, same agenda and the same old dogma.

Boris you really do seem to live in the wrong country. We are a Capitalist free enterprise country not a hard socialist or communist country. I think and this is just my opinion that you would be be far happier in one of the true socialist and or communist countries around the world... You ever thought about moving somewhere that has a socialist or communist political system more akin to your beliefs.
Or would you prefer to see Australia change into a true socialist/communist country?
