Marianne (and others)
Might find the interview at
http://9am.ten.com.au/video.htm?vxSiteId=4a40990c-a06c-401b-8663-6f890bb8f3dc&vxChannel=9am%20Just%20Added&vxClipId=1427_9am900-lg7-161109&vxBitrate=300&CMP=LEC-DANCEgetVideoLink
interesting...it's ABA's slant on providing a message that enables parents
to know that there are risks associated with not breastfeeding while support
mothers.
IMO the Health Dept has done a very poor job with their PR on this one (and
clearly industry were well prepared- had prior knowledge).
