    Our two girls were born at he Mount Barker Hospital in SA. Classed as a country hospital. Both times they were in for a week before coming home (two C sections) and excellent follow up support.

    We never wanted to go to a big city baby factory.

    Nothing new there. My Daughter is 19 and my Son is nearly 16. My Daugther was there for 4 days as she had a few minor issues, but when my Son arrived, my Wife was discharged after 2 days - thank you very much, have a nice life.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Aah! 5 years and 1 month old,that's the reason neither myself or my wife remember it, or it wasn't widely reported in Brisbane,(suppression order?) maybe.

    Often if I'm watching an early TV news program originating from Sydney and if there is a crime report with vision from Qld the perps face is often shown,but the Brisbane evening program will have the face pictulated.

    Nothing much has changed Lou, going by some of the recent horrendous reports - and it is not like some of these children were "unknown" to be at risk.......with multiple reports to DOCS, etc.........

    And it is probably going to be a more common occurrence, as families battle with 'society', unemployment, and the accompanying money troubles etc. The loss of hope, drug addictions, and domestic violence desensitise people to living a normal life. Inevitably it is the children that suffer, sometimes unspeakable acts.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Years ago, we had very little, in the way of material things. But, we had Family, with a definite structure. That structure seems to be fractured in many families today. Without the Family bond, keeping the group tight, & under some control, you get habits such as alcohol abuse, substance abuse, violence, all without close scrutiny, without any form of oversight by concerned close family members. Problems, such as unemployment, and all that comes with that, soon take on a life of their own. Start drinking, lose your license, lose your job, take it out on the ones you love, lose your family, and so on. A close family structure is one of the most important anchors of our society. It seems to me we, as a people, were happier with a lot less material things, but with a strong family structure & values. We lose those values at our peril, Bob
