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.
"What has that got to do with today's Govt and how they operate (current events)? Do you get tired of posting that sort of stuff all the time, because we get tired of reading the same old repeated out of date stuff?
The title of this thread says ... Diary of our.... Govt.... not what happened pre Sept 2013."
I agree to a degree AM3, but the author of this thread (if you bother to check) has frequently mentioned pre Sept 2013 events regarding Abbott when it suits him, (C&P obviously) e.g.:
At university he kicked in a glass panel door when defeated in an election.
Referred to a woman Chairperson as “Chairthing”
He was accused of assaulting a woman at University, and later acquitted. He was defended by a QC and the girl defended herself.
Another woman accuses him of throwing punches at her. And hitting either side of a wall she was standing against. He says it never happened but others corroborate her story.
He threatened to punch the head in of Lindsay Foyle who disagreed with him on a woman’s right to an abortion.
In 1978 a young teacher by the name of Peter Woof bought assault charges against Abbott. Abbott had punched him in the face. The charges never went anywhere. Abbott was represented by a legal team of six and the young man could not afford to defend himself.
And he did punch out Joe Hockey’s lights during a rugby match.
He established a slush fund to bring down Pauline Hansen and then lied about its existence.
"pre Sept 2013" ?, from the OP BIG author ???? Obviously a different Cycloptic calender in use there, because by my calender the oldest reference within this thread is at least 37 years old.
