    Dr Bridie O’Donnell you are an inspirational voice for equality in our community. Only having 2 sons I hope that I’m not to biased but I do truly hope that the daughters of this and the next generation have as equal an opportunity as my boys.
    Thanks for another enlightening and insightful episode Robbo
