Hi all.  I have been off the air more than on lately - too busy.
However, I will share a snippet from the Finance pages of today's
paper "The Mercury".

CORPORATE BREAST PRACTICE
One of Australia's top women directors has revealed she breast-fed
her baby daughter at the board table during a formal meeting of
Commonwealth Bank directors - without anyone batting an eye.
The bank's first female director, Anna Booth, said yesterday she was
pleasantly surprised that the executives at the meeting were so
"laid back".

Lactnetters, that's Australia for you!  And reported in the
otherwise "dry" Finance pages.  What got me was that it was obviously
such a non-event that she had to make a statement to the press before
anyone took any notice.
