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.

I think the Pacific Island countrieshave learned a lot already apropos political guerrilla warfare and*** political instability from the many years of the Circus with the Poor Me and Rudd knife act.
So why not research (check) it? Not worth the time. Forum posts aren't the same as academic essays, no compulsory reference list required at the end of the posts content. I gave a disclaimer as to its authenticity.
*** Nonsense,
Solomon Islands ..civil unrest, 2000->?
Fiji - unrest, long before the last Labor Govt gained power - The stability of Fiji rests upon ethnic equality. Political instability has plagued Fiji since it gained its independence in 1970.
Most of the issues in the Pacific Islands is/was due to ethnic conflicts.
