from kelly on FB:
Quote:
BellyBelly Kelly - tweets from someone in Canberrra: A woman has gone into labour at the protest. . . Amber is now performing song for nicola Roxon. . . Apparently a police blockade is keeping more people from joining the thousands here. . . I saw a dad wearing a shi...rt saying my vagina my choice. Awesome. . . At parliament house it is packed! Can't hear much but banners
a woman in labour - thats gotta show the pollys birth is possable about side of a hospital (plus all the midwife support she'd be getting!!)

I'm in Canberra, but had to work
The news footage looked great on Sunrise this morning, but I missed the news tonight.
Hope the Politicians will see reason!

There was nada on national news from what we saw. Local canberra news had some brief footage about which senators spoke etc but that was about it.
