Well what do you know - that big email I sent out to the pollies recently spilling all my guts on the horrific things going on in birth, breastfeeding and MCHN's CC'ing training - I finally have a reply from my local labor candidate and he's given me his mobile number to call him:
"You have raised many important issues that no email can do it justice. Can you give me a call and we can discuss the points raised. My best number is my mobile xxxx" Will be an interesting discussion, he seems rather caring and receptive :-) Now I wish I knew a hell of a lot more than I do so I can put forward the most intelligent arguments!!! This is where I would love your brain Justine and your ability to think on your feet, no matter what discussion you are thrust into! At least I got what I asked for - no standard office replies!!!!! If only I can get one back from the liberal member for my area - the state opposition!!! :-) Best Regards, Kelly Zantey _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justine Caines Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 11:12 PM To: OzMid List Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] FYI news article Hi Kelly I would really like to talk with you and perhaps Pinky off list to nut out some strategies on 'mainstreaming' 1-2-1 mid options and making our goals palatable 'out there'. I know you and Pinky have contact with some big players and I have often thought we need to maximise ay exposure (not saying you don't just would like to natter about it a bit!). Kind regards Justine
