Have you ever had sex on a work trip?
If I ask such a question, I should answer it myself, I suppose. I’m sure I must have at some point but right now I don’t remember any specific instances (so clearly any indiscretions were not that memorable!). I do recall several of us being asked to leave a spa pool at about 3 am […]
Reasons for Admission to Lunatic Asylum
I just had to share this from the wonderful @MsPraxis. I have no idea where she got it from, but the reasons are interesting to say the least. I should point out I did go to the website given on the bottom to validate the authenticity of this list. What did I find? 😀
Should we send a woman pregnant with twins to Nauru?
Edit October 20: Since this and many other articles were published, Morrison has come out strongly denying there are any pregnant women with twins on Nauru. I note he does not say there never were: Despite this, Mr Morrison used the once-weekly briefing to admonish assembled journalists for misreporting asylum seeker issues, including the widely […]
Are male doctors sexually harassed by patients?
I’d like to know the answer. I’d like to know for two reasons: A) to ensure we look at the issue from both sides of the fence and, B) while I’ve heard of male doctors being penalised professionally for inappropriate relationships (or worse) with female patients, I’ve not heard of the reverse. A survey of […]
I wrote a little opinion piece
I wrote a little opinion piece which has been published on Independent Australia. I love the cartoon! http://www.independentaustralia.net/2013/politics/tony-religion-and-the-dumb-country/ Hope you find it interesting. 🙂 In 24 hours it has proved remarkably popular.

I started on the platform then offered by Bigpond.com, disliked the buggy interface and moved to Blogger then moved to WordPress.com at the urging of my oldest daughter. I frequented the […]
Where, oh where, are the women of calibre?
There must be something really strange happening in the Liberal Party (and, I suggest, the coalition overall). Is there really NOT more than ONE woman of sufficient calibre in the Liberal Party to rate a cabinet position? The ONE woman that did make it has, effectively, been demoted. Julie Bishop was the Deputy Leader of […]
Grass roots women and gender equality
Trigger warning. Recently one of my articles about feminism where I used the decal on the left received a readership of some considerable numbers in the USA. Apart from a large number of comments, I also received emails. One in particular struck me. The email was from a woman in the USA (we shall call her […]
Elysium: movie review
After seeing the trailer when we went to see Word War Z, I really wanted to see Elysium. I heard reports of what a great movie it was. Icing on the cake was Matt Damon criticising Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers when he visited to promote the movie.
