My favourite neighbour is the very elderly Italian man across the road who can’t get his head around why four women are living together (in our sharehouse) unless they're orphans. He asked one housemate where our parents were and asked another: “is mamma dead?”

Two-and-a-half years ago I wrote one story about women being turned away from Queensland's hospitals for seeking abortions. I've since published more than 100 articles on this issue, many with women in really tough circumstances. I'm thinking about all of those women tonight.
