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.

shots taken from different angles -
gives you a different distance perception
(i can post a link to a quick tutorial)
from the more direct angle, he appears
to be standing in front of flag 6 - counted
from the left.
the close up is from a different angle
count the flags, debra, they're in the
same order
and then he will stop all media from getting on his plane.

You are not seeing things, that is not the same background. Something has been photoshopped, I think, or the flags have been moved, or it is a different time frame.
Look at the other photo with the ? bag being held up, the man at Abbott's left in the dark jacket, his head has been photoshopped onto his shoulders. Very odd anyway.
i posted a link to the news video,
those are screen shots. nothing
has been altered
