I agree it may be harder to put into practise if children start making too much noise though. Iti s going to be very distracting if the baby starts crying during the actual sitting though. Some get distressed hearing a baby crying for too long. Sometimes they can literally drown out a conversation. I agree the Mums should not be discriminated against. Maybe those who have children in Parliament House during actual sittings there could have a glassed off area where they can hear via speaker system, but be allowed to speak if they wish to. The manners of people need to improve considerably if they are going to allow children to be there.

  Very well thought out comment and suggestion june11.

that is great and really progressive!

Great to see them leading by example… now time for others to follow suit.

I hope this happens in more places 🙂

  All mums regardless of profession need the same changes to occur in their workplaces.

Now – let’s see it spread to all workplaces – there is a long way to go!

That’s wonderful. A big step forward

Times are finally changing in Australia!

Lovely! What a big improvement!!

Nothing like leading by example – will be interesting to see how it works in practice…
