Hi
Denise,
............................I
went with friends to the community cabinet meeting at Ipswich recently
which starred Peter Beatty, Wendy Edmund etc and mmy friend put a question to
them at question time re what are they doing about improving the maternity
care for women and babies in QLD, in view of the horrendous intervention and
c-sec rates. Of course Peter
stumbled and bumbled and basically said that NMAP has been presented to the
Federal govt and it�s up to them to do something about it and provide the
funding and that he would refer our concerns to them. Deb and I will be visiting our local
member very soon with Bruce Teackle I think. We are going to take a written
statement of what the �now�, what�s wrong with it, and what we want. I�m very excited about that. Birthtalk is going well and we have
started a media strategy so you might see/hear about us soon down that
way. And Deb and I are also off
to a meeting with the Homebirth association soon which I will really
enjoy. I heard a homebirth story
the other night at Birthtalk and it was so brilliant and powerful and
inspiring.
I just
noticed that email you forwarded was from Pinky McKay (The Bumper Stickers) �
do you know Pinky? I�ve read some
of her work, it�s wonderful stuff, I love the way she advocates for parenting
and mothering babies and children.
