"The school formal is meant to be a formal dance between a young man and a young woman, not a young man and a young man,"
"We love all our [gay] students as we do all people in our churches but their lifestyle is not encouraged, particularly if it was a promiscuous lifestyle. We are dealing with young people here.

Save Private Midwifery and homebirth choices
Submitted by Penny on Thu, 25/06/2009 - 4:50pm.
To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that with planned national registration of all health professionals to take effect on July 1st 2010 midwives in private practice will be unable to seek registration on the basis of their inability to obtain professional indemnity insurance.
We ask that the senate bring this issue to the parliament's attention and make a speedy redress to assist midwives in private practice to obtain professional indemnity insurance. We also ask that midwives in private practice enjoy the same funding mechanisms as procedural general practitioners and specialist obstetricians under the medicare benefits schedule.
