Mr Abbott said nearly 60 per cent of disability pensioners had potentially treatable mental health or muscular-skeletal conditions. He said the disability pension cost $13 billion a year and the number of people receiving it was about to pass 800,000.

^ that seems insanely high

Why is the dole so easy to get?

Has Abbott learned nothing? Threatening/trying to cut welfare and pensions is not going to win the liberals the next election.

 

[cosmo kramer]

yeah politicians should focus on just winning elections rather than taking positions on anything

Note well that the Gillard Gov't is releasing their welfare proposals in the May '11 budget, and they haven't criticised any of the substance behind Abbott's proposals. Infact I suspect Gillard will be toughening up Labor's welfare policy. This will reinforce Labor as a centrist party, governing for all and not associated with the dying Green party. That strategy will help win the next election.
