Adoption
cutting down the red-tape for oversea's children
needing a home, and Australian mothers wanting
to adopt, must be encouraged by government.
Australia has the lowest adoption rate in the
world. I advocate the government looks at this
issue.

Evolving issues through our
Time
|
| The
state of Iraqi women has become a "national crisis" since
the March 2003 US-led invasion, a report released by an
international women's group said . |
|
|
"Present
day Iraq is plagued by insecurity, a lack of infrastructure
and controversial leadership, transforming the situation
for women from one of relative autonomy and security
before the war into a national crisis," said the report
by the US-based Women For Women International.
According to the report, issued ahead of International
Women's Day on March 8, 64 percent of the women surveyed
said violence against them had increased. "When asked
why, respondents most commonly said that there is less
respect for women's rights than before, that women are
thought of as possessions, and that the economy has
gotten worse," it said.
The
report also found that 76 percent of the women interviewed
said that girls in their families were forbidden from
attending school.
It
said "68.3 percent of respondents describe the availability
of jobs as bad and 70.5 percent said that their families
are unable to earn enough money to pay for daily necessities."

Jesus
Was A Feminist According to Ms Quentin Bryce, from
a speech she gave many years ago when she was a Lawyer
and long before she'd made it as a top woman in todays
Australian Government.
THE
nation's first female governor-general, Quentin Bryce,
has described her appointment as "a great day for
Australian women".
"I
grew up in a little bush town in Queensland with 200
people, and what this day says to Australian women
and Australian girls is that you can do anything,
you can be anything," Ms Bryce said as she is being
named as Australia's 25th
governor-general.

Australia
Appoints First Female Bishop
|
One
of Australia's first Anglican women priests has
shattered the stained glass ceiling to become
the nation's first woman bishop.
Perth Archdeacon Kay Goldsworthy, 51, was named
as an assistant bishop, to be consecrated on May
22.
The unanimous
decision was made by Perth Archbishop Roger
Herft and his diocesan council in the wake of
an agreement reached this week between Australia's
Anglican bishops on a protocol to handle opponents
of women bishops.
Under
the protocol, parishes that cannot in good conscience
recognise the ministry of a woman bishop will
be offered the services of a male bishop.
