Dear Justine
Well done on being able to make the effort.
Do not waste energy being hurt, upset by their inappropriate response.
We are not the only aware electors 7 listeners out there!
Our time is coming because we are part of the answers to questions which are
being asked becuase there are people suffereing unneccessarily.

 Hi All

 It seems I was lucky enough to get on Australia Talks Back this
afternoon
 and got half a question to Wooldridge and Macklin.  I mentioned that I was
a
 member of Maternity Coalition and that we had met with both their offices
 and that neither of them had taken our issues seriously.  I also got it
that
 childbirth is the most important reason for hospitalisation in the country
 and that very little has come from all the inquiries!  I was then cut off
 and I was sorry I didn't get to mention COST!!

 Anyway.  For those who didn't hear it Wooldrige gave that crap line about
 psysiotherapists and chiropractors and that he wasn't prepared to fund
 midwives.  Macklin gave the mirror answer, looking into it!

 I am posting this because (if that pathetic gov is returned and as they
are
 campaigning on the backs of dead people they proabably will) they need to
be
 taken to task on this utter garbage.  We are talking LIKE services and the
 pregnancy and birth of a baby no matter what!! Even so Wooldrige went on
to
 say with other callers that Medicare was too Doctor focussed and he was
glad
 to offer services to Psychologists for non-drug related therapy etc and
that
 a model of wellness and preventative care were important to the Gov!!
Yeah
 but let's not take a cent from the Obstetricians.

 Angry and Praying for a Labor Gov with some Greens and or Democrats to
keep
 the Bastards honest!!

Well done Justine!
I can't believe that people would approve of this inequitable baby bonus 
scheme that the Libs have put up!  Are they trying to buy off the young 
couples/families' votes?  When will the message be got across that it 
should be the consumer, not the provider of the service, that decides what 
they want (and that's straight from Trades Practices Act/ Competition 
Policy stuff)???
Also all the policies directing funds to private hospitals (read big 
business) and running down the public hospitals.  Where will it all end?

I am worried.
