I'd like to add this quote, which I've shared before. "Progress is impossible without change: and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything" George Bernard Shaw. Food for thought...

Re: [ozmidwifery] Presenting a united front
Dear Andrea, Thanks for this - to suggest that I am devastated by this article is a complete understatement, and Robyn is not even a member!! Anyway those are the breaks - we are still continuing to move forward with the insurance and we had a big meeting a couple of weeks ago with the universities, nurses boards etc of Vic and SA Will keep you posted - (please do not distribute this email) Cheers Vanessa - Original Message - From: Andrea Quanchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ozmidwifery [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 11:20 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Presenting a united front I have just been shown the weekend paper that had an article about independent midwives in it. Robyn Thompson put forward a confident picture of not being defeated by the withdrawal of insurance but what I found distressing was the need of another midwife to bag the ACMI in public. (Personally I believe the executive have /are continuing to try and do every thing they can to negotiate insurance of behalf of members who are practicing independently) but even if you don't believe this then the place to take it up is surely with the executive rather than in the paper. Members bagging our professional organisation in public must damage the organisations credibility in the eyes of the very people we need to influence if we are ever to make inroads on this front. I understand as well as anybody the frustration those practicing independently without insurance but lets vent our frustration together but present a united front to the public.
