A Democrat Twitches

Stott Despoja is a wasted talent; good to see she's still finding and fighting good fights. On gene privacy. Here's where we're going:

The move came after a teacher was denied a permanent job because her father had Huntington's disease. She had to go through the courts to reverse the decision.

You're right, Natasha is OK. I would like a political party to vote for, which comprised her and Julia Gillard and Andrew Bartlett.
Re employment and potential hereditary illness: I would not want to work for people who treated me like that anyhow.

Crust- no worries.

Browns- a broad centre left party that is more left than centre sounds like your go. I think it's buried in Labor left, the remnants of the dems, and a few of the more moderate greens somewhere.

On choice, as long as you have that choice, ie plenty of other options, then that's fine...
