Apparently, DW was talking to a representative from BD&M who has said that part of the problem is that they get all of their mail opened off-site and sorted at a massive government sorting centre. Apparently when the workers get mail that deviates from the normal mail that BD&M gets (like the inclusion of a pink form from a homebirth) they are simply discarding it.
Not sure how true this is.

Let's fight the good fight!!!!
HI everyone!
The National Day of Action - 18 Feb - is NATIONWIDE
Facebook has a page if you belong to this SNS or if you type MY BODY MY BABY MY RIGHT TO DECIDE protest in a search engine it will redirect you to relevant sites and pages.
We have one in Cairns - most are aimed at MPs offices - there are many in VIC that I can see and others in Perth as well and Brisbane! Tomorrow is banner designing day for me and my son Joss and I will be on the march on Thursday
I remember the struggle I had with Centrelink in particular with my first HB in 2005 and trying to get it recognised!! I was sooo-ooo tempted to take in the graphic birth photos in all their gloryQld's BDM now recognises homebirth on its site and in its application forms so that is a small step I suppose.
Time to take up the good fight - can't mourn what you have lost when you didn't fight for it...

Oh babe, I'm so sorry
I wanted to go, but it may well be a bit ambitious with my DS AND DD, cos DS is going through a non-listening phase and a long morning won't spell a great trip home (whether I train it or drive it). I did Canberra solo, don't have the luxury now

oh bimboo my heart screams for you and both your daughters. What a horrible mix of confusions you must be feeling and pressure you must feel under to appear happy. Is there anything I can do? want a visitor that you can be honest with?
