Now I have been thinking with the government stepping in to assist the
doctors that perhaps there is a road to travel on. The road is one of
discrimination. That the government has quickly stepped in to assist the
medical profession while independent midwives' practices disintegrate.
For those with more political sense than I has this been explored?

Hi Sally.....great to hear from you...how things over in the West???
Your observation above Sally is spot on...and the ACMI I believe is onto it. I attended an ACMI Sub-Branch meeting back in early May and Alana Street spoke to us Re: the PII issue and mentioned that the ACMI was looking into avenues Re: Discrimination of midwives in this regard...perhaps Alana if your lurking...you could give us an update on progress here, particularly now given that the federal govt has kicked in again to offer continued support to medicos after June 30!!
Yours in birth,
