    I think you miss the point. Have you never needed to challenge inappropriate behaviour by stranger males in public spaces, sometimes entering sex segregated spaces? If that male says they are a woman, then ‘no help is coming’ and it will likely end badly for you and other women.

    Asking a woman in front of her boss if the culture for women in parliament has improved is inappropriate.

    @JacquiLambie why didn’t you insist that selected cross bench members and Greens and Labor leaders were also told this special information. Surely these elected reps are just as trustworthy with national security matters.

    We also make mention of this in the paper. We are not seeing “bodies with a prostate”.

    Midwives save lives, reduce morbidity and enhance health for mothers and babies. #investinmidwives
    Here’s an illustration of the impact of midwifery on outcomes for women, for babies, and for the system - just look at all the good that midwives do across the life course! ✨✨✨#earlyyears #midwives #evidence #quality

    Midwives save lives, reduce morbidity & enhance health, yet in every country globally we are poorly paid, undervalued, face hostility, struggle to access to education, have reduced autonomy, & exclusion from executive leadership. Join pushcampaign.org #WomensRights

    When I collected data for my PhD - with women who reported a traumatic childbirth - I asked them if having their own midwife would have made a difference - 100% said “Yes”.

    And @AustralianLabor should now say “we got it wrong and now call for urgent review of legislation”

    Pension Deduction £151.79. Tax Deduction £187.72. NI contributions have increased for this pay band from £160.90 to £177.51 a month = £16.61 less in net pay from 1st April 2022 compared to previous years. @RCM @NHS - what are you thinking!! Midwives pay going backwards!

    We shouldn’t need more men in the midwifery profession to be treated with respect and paid relative to skills, expertise & contribution to saving lives, reducing morbidity and promoting health.
