    Are you sure you sent it to the Greens? That would have to be the most bizarre things I have ever read and not something I would expect to get from a Greens representative.

    Ok, I just deleted everything I wrote because after what you said, Trillian, I rechecked the web address I sent it to (greens@greens.org.au - i thought) and I sent it to the wrong address! I wrote .COM.au rather than .org! This person is a total random! No wonder I couldn't find her on the Greens website! Why didn't she tell me she isn't the Greens party? ROFLMAO.

    That explains the other email I got; "
    We are Green's General Foods, believe you may have sent this email to us in error"

    One thing I don't get though; why is a psychologist working for Greens General Foods? Are they the ones that make those instant cake mixes?

    i was thinking the same Trillian. WTF? this person has no idea of the situation. who cares if they're a psychologist paying their own insurance - the email was more addressing the issue of making midwife attendance at a homebirth ILLEGAL!

    Oh my goodness I'm dying of embarrassment right now!! I'll email the Greens POLITICAL party (as opposed to Greens general foods) and post their response in this thread since I've made it all and everything

    Baby Brain strikes again!!
    Don't be embarrassed, that's so something I do on a daily basis.
    Very interested to see what/if the actual Greens will come up with, so please let us know!!

    ETA, I wonder how many emails that Greens General Foods actually get for Greens Political Party?
    And is it just me or do you find it a little.. weird/odd/annoying/rude that that random person, who is probably a receptionist replied??

    Thanks for sharing. That's the funniest thing I've read today. What an annoying woman - taking advantage of an email mix-up to push her views instead of just saying 'nup, wrong person.

    No, I think you should publish her response to a home-birth group so she gets about 500 answers pmsl.

    I dunno, if she's a psychologist as well she'd have to be one of the most overqualified receptionists out there LOL . But it does beg the question as to why a psychologist is working for a food company? Counselling the meat and potatoes perhaps?

    Nee - that's hilarious. Made my night. I hope that you get a better response next time.

    Oh, but... I'm a psychologist too. I'm also a heart surgeon and in my spare time i like to practice a bit of rocket science

    Understandably though, those meat and potatoes would go through a hard time.
