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.

Scaring ?
She was superb.
Knew how to deal with Terrorists (shoot on sight, don't leave any alive - Iranian, IRA and others), Argentinians and Unionists.
(Although Labor actually closed more coal mines than Maggie did but don't let the truth get in the way of a good story ).

Which one of you mentioned Jobs and favouring Abbotts and the LNP's rich mates ?????
30 year cabinet papers releaed the other day.
Prime Ministers doing favours for their rich mates and using Public / Tax payer Money to do it.
As in Bob Hawke using PUBLIC TAXPAYER MONEY TO PAY STRIKE BREAKERS and use RAAF Aircraft to break the pilots strike, all for his rich mate. And this was a union man !!!
And even worse, foreign pilots brought in to do it and paid by the Gov't !!!
Sir Peter Abeles was a happy chappy

The Germans are at it again.
Defiant protesters holding another anti-immigrant rally in German city of Dresden
Dresden: Defying appeals from an array of German institutions, anti-immigrant marchers planned to rally again in the city of Dresden on Monday, parading their stated fear of Europe's Islamisation, along with their emergence as a force of thousands of protesters commanding national attention.
The protesters, rallied by a murky movement known as PEGIDA, a German acronym for Patriotic Europeans against Islamisation of the West, swelled to 17,500 outside Dresden's historic Semper opera house before Christmas and were the talk of Germany during the holidays. In her New Year's address, Chancellor Angela Merkel appealed to Germans to avoid the marches and their organisers, who she said had "prejudice, coldness and even hatred in their hearts".
