Yeah, well...a reluctant local one! I'm requesting a meeting with the mayor.
I'm kind of sick of having so much to be p!ssed off about. And I consider
myself a pretty reasonable person.

Brilliant! That is bf advocacy at it's best, good for you. How ridiculous
for the council to state they had surveyed women but be unable to say how
many.

Yeah asking Great Aunt Prude what she thinks is not the same as a
genuine survey... ;-)

Thanks :-) Jayne's a great journalist. I've been quoted before that made me
sound stupid, or a crank, so I was impressed.

Noooo! You might freeze yourself to your nursing bra.

I really don't think they ever did a proper survey. If they did, no-one I
know ever heard about it. I can guarrantee that what they did was get the
offending attendant to ask some of the elderly patrons whether they wanted
to see 'breastfeedingandnappychanging' in the lounge and report back the
responses. The facilities manager has been lumping 'feeding and changing'
together the whole time to confuse the issue, even though I made it clear
from the outset I have no problem with separate changing facilities.
What irritates me is why a council needs a public survey for a human rights
issue. It's because it's breastfeeding that it's getting this sort of
treatment. If the survey was "Do you want to share the lounge of the
restrooms with Maori/white/Asian/Samoan people" I can just imagine how it
would go down.

Thanks Pip :-) At least I think our mayor is a little more concerned with PR
than the facilities manager is.
