As far as I am aware it will only affect new applicants, the applicant point system has recently been increased to 20 points in some states, almost unattainable now, but it, like everything else, is getting harder to achieve.
Mind you, I see a lot of folks on the disability pension who have no right to be on it.
The disability side of things has been "toughened up", assistance is becoming non existent and funding is being withdrawn or cut right back.
I remember, not that long ago when cutbacks were occurring, the folks were leaving their charges on government steps or train stations, simply walking away from their disabled as it had become too hard, those days may be upon us once more.

may your day's be filled with smiles, your life be filled with love, may your children know nothing but happiness and joy, cherish the memory of those who strove before us for they cleared the way, spare a thought for those who serve we owe so much to so many, life and the freedom to enjoy it is a special gift that can be taken away far too soon!
