My
love to you and Sarah....
Great!
I have my lovely Sarah (19) in hospital with
quinsy -drains IV antibiotics etc (She NEVER gets sick so this is a shock to
her ) when she had a blood test at the clinic the previous day, she
thought the nurse was going to "do it like the blood bank" that she visited
with a biology class a couple of years ago - the nurse said -"you MUST have
had needles at school ! Sarah nodded "no" - she couldnt talk and hasnt
been immunised.The woman asked, were you one of the ones who hid in the
toilet? THATs why you are sick now!! -I didnt have the energy to argue -just
asked could Sarah please lie down as she wasnt feeling at all well, then sat
with her.
Thankfully all the hopital nurses have been
lovely.
Im just on the way back to hospital to see her
but will contact the relevant people in the next week or two and will keep
you informed.

Sure, Pinky...I'm ready for anything it takes!!
Love, Vicki
Hi Liz,
I am a trained advertising copywriter (I
have done weekend workshops with some of the top creative directors in
Melbourne -with a two year old on my breast - most of these guys
were more familiar with the association between breasts and fast
cars!) - Yes I can help - my time is very limited but I can take on
small chunks and am happy to pass on contacts.
I was invited on GMA for an interview this
doesnt cost at all -although they have a system where you can pay $3000
for an interview -I have costings for ads in an elusive notebook - they
charge per state on a sliding scale so a national ad is a multiple of
state prices - Sydney is more expensive with WA and Q
less expensive, but around $200 per state per 30 second ad -
Birthing is a non commercial issue but we need something to
pin it on - they arent a current affair show so wont be involved in
politics and probably like to think they are not having rabid "birth
nazis" on their show. I reckon we could get Nic and Vicki on if GMA was
simply sent a copy of their video with a good press release and
followup. I am happy to talk to the producer if they are happy to be
interviewed!!! They will get about 3 minutes if it comes off - better
than 30 seconds!!
Then if this comes off - any money raised /
sponsorship for an ad can be put towards an ad - TWO bites of the
cherry!
Do you want me to go ahead and contact the
producer? -Vicki are you ready for an interview re midwifery and
your and Nics work helping women enjoy birth in this technological age -
I think a fairly 'mainstream' approach would be all you will get on Bert
- he is a nice interviewer but conservative and wouldnt be out to
create controversy -his women producers are older first time
mothers who were probably epiduralled then back to work quite early. The
In Union video footage would be a lovely reinforcer for a piece
highlighting NMAP and womens choices/the benefits of having your 'own'
midwife - not necessarily at home -(Slide all that in sideways around an
interview about the video if that is the only way to get it on)
- To get on TV/ in the media - it needs to affect a majority
or be sensational (ie ACA who only want sensation and edit/ alter the
context of anything said during a pre-recorded interview).
It also helps to have a website to refer
women to for further info.
