Which is common sense prevailing.   Wouldn't Australia be a wonderful place if the majority of parliament were women. Within this model I would expect that BF wouldn't be an issue. Logically it would follow that the appropriate care, culture and circumstances would already be in place to cater for Mothers and the needs of their children, and controversial issues such as this would not exist.   A mother of a newborn should have the right to BF anywhere she desires! (some may not agree with the mothers decision, however she should have the right) and once again I'm sure commonsense would prevail. Women who are boilermakers aren't going to endanger their children by taking them to work, and we don't need legislation to enforce that. I'm sure women are more then capable of deciding the appropriate environment for their children, with sensitivity and consideration for other people's needs.     Some Politicians:>> yell, tell lies, abuse and act very immature at times in parliament. maybe in an ironic way it's best they don't allow "strangers" in there.   Darren
