Andrew Laming lays it out

If you haven't already seen this, it's really worth watching. Some politicians get it. Not all, but some really do. Andrew Laming appears to be one of them. If you aren't already aware of what's going on in Australia regarding midwifery and the pending outlawing of homebirths (that's right: outlawing homebirths. Ludicrous, I know)you can find more information at any of these links (ok, it's late and I'm lazy.  Just go to Jill's blog post and check out her massive list of links.  Hat tip to Jill of The Unnecesarean). If you are a resident of Australia, I highly recommend contacting your local MP. If your local MP is Andrew Laming, however, I think he's already got your back.
