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.

I am the source, because on smaller shipments, Customs made an assessment, send the parcel to the PO and

the bill to you saying pay on pick up.

I have only read the posts on this page.

 

many years ago when I first began buying on eBay, the odd parcel was assessed by customs for duty. Before the threshold increased to 1000$.

 

I would receive a letter from Australia Post, saying, in essence, that a parcel was being held by AP with customs duty to be paid.

 

this I paid at the Post Office and they gave me the parcel. AP was collecting the money on behalf of customs.
