The Chair’s Report of the Senate Inquiry into the legislation that affects Homebirth Midwives’ registration recommended that the Bill be passed. This despite the acknowledgement that Homebirth Midwives will be unable to practice in 2010 and women will be unable to hire an Independent Midwife to attend their births. Seems the Chair is just a piece of furniture without independent thought, after all.
The Bill was returned to the Lower House for debate today and kept losing quorum. So sorry we’re boring you, ladies and gentlemen! Would you kindly give us our rights back so that we can get on with raising the next generation of Australians in a democratic country.
