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.
G58: "Am3 posted a news report. How is that having a go at anyone?"
If you check (read) G58, you will find that preceding a not unexpected C&P, sans 10 year exaggerations, is this:
"More waste of public money. Next the new building will be half empty because Abbott Govt's massive public service job cuts"
In my lexicon that would qualify as having a go
Here is something for P007 to contemplate between alleging Abbott is a de facto "Pom", and dodging the fallout from those evil secret overhead chemtrails (in broad daylight?) :
"Labor Senator Sam Dastyari called on to answer questions over Bill Shorten leadership ballot"
Labor's Sam Dastyari is being called upon to make a personal explanation to the Senate about his knowledge of or involvement in irregularities in the 2013 ballot that installed Bill Shorten as federal Opposition Leader.
Shorten is the federal Opposition Leader, really ? This bloke?
He must be very rich, if you consider that silence is golden!

That is not having a go at the public servants, as was the accusation.
