Ms Fiona Rea:

I just want to touch on the Senator's point about public spacing and making amenities for breastfeeding. I am absolutely in favour of that, but is it not appalling we are even talking about it as a thing? Women should not need a special place to go to breastfeed. There should not be a question of a mother being moved on from sitting on a park bench or feeding her child wherever she chooses to do so. Yes, it would be terrific if there were some public spacing given to mothers so they felt comfortable and there was no question of them being asked to move on, but it is disgraceful we are even talking about it as a thing.
