Really? I know that twitterer, but didn't realise she was his sister. What a shame they can't swap jobs.

Meep, that was a reference to a very helpful response I received by email lol

Did u find any more of her?

What should the ideal ratio be?  How is it determined?

It is determined by $$$$$.  IMO the ratio should be no less than one carer to two babies. Otherwise, they will suffer.

well, does that mean we need to be lobbying for mothers to only have 2 children at a time?

Most care centres (and this one is occasional care) have more than 4 babies in a nursery, so probably 2 carers at a time. I have cared for grandchildren on my own,  while parents worked. 4 of them are the same age, within months of each other. It was do-able, none neglected.

I'd rather believe experts.

 

Why have women been lobbying governments for decades then? 

She mentions something about bernadi there, I cannot see the post she made on International Women's Day now, there was an image from memory. She is a lot better than her brother, good one to follow - 

I care not one jot, not one iota, where Mrs Abbott is.

I only care enough to register this fact in this thread.

One can only feel sympathy for the poor woman and it's refreshing to see that the media (not to mention their mouthpieces here on CS) don't bag her out as they did with Ms Gillard's partner.

I agree pct, I'm glad they're leaving her alone if that's what she wants.

I am disappointed she isn't doing something for the Australian community, in the tradition of other PM partners, however perhaps she has a good reason....allegedly.

Donna the fake margie abbott on twitter is funny. I think I might already follow Abbott's sister....or maybe I just see a lot of retweets.
