Dear Justine and others, I have just received a call from my Federal Labour
Candidate for Canning Electorate WA (Cimlie Bowden) to tell me that Julia
Gillard will be in Armadale WA and 'available to listen' to our concerns
about local maternity issues next Monday. We (Peel PR&MS Group members Lyn
Cornock and myself) have done the ground work with Cimlie and she is 'the
full bottle' on NMAP and midwifery-led care, and VERY supportive (she is an
RN/midwife). We are campaigning for a midwifery-led Birth Centre in
Pinjarra WA, and have started circulating a petition to this effect in the
Peel Region, with great responses so far. As I have 7 babies due in the
next 7 weeks (eeek!!) I will make sure Lyn can attend, as I can't be SURE to
be there. If you want to send me any particular points relating to other
areas of Oz please forward them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The push for birth
reform is gathering momentum! In solidarity, Lois Wattis, IPM - WA
