Reform tightens eligibility ABOUT 40 per cent of people on the Disability Support Pension would no longer qualify under sweeping reform to tighten eligibility. The reform will see many struggling with obesity, chronic pain and hearing impairment return to the workforce. The reform will not affect existing recipients, and will only apply to new recipients after January 1, 2012.Community Services Minister Jenny Macklin says under the reform people will be assessed on what they can do, not what they cannot do.

WORK CONDITIONING:
This is the third 'power' that the Disability Emploment Agencies are being granted over us, which I could not recall earlier.
"In addition to referring job seekers to the most suitable employment service, assessors will arrange for eligible job seekers to receive assistance such as psychological counselling, pain management and work conditioning to help them overcome their barriers to work."
That can only mean being forced into working in unpaid voluntary roles or unpaid work trials, to 'condition' us.
So, the sick and infirm of this country are going to be used as a free labour pool. That's just f***ing great!

So they come shuffling and side stepping around to "work for the dole" again. Just a new name.
