9 OCTOBER 1998 .. A WEB NEWSLETTER FOR PSYCH CONSUMERS IN AUSTRALIA
Jane, a friend of the newsletter has suggested this : a book network for cønsumers, (coordinated by one person via e-mail or phone. This means that a list of books held by different members of the network could be shared. People involved could request and send books by Australia Post. There would probably be a joining deposit. An info. collection consisting of up to date copies of MH Web pages and a list of URLs for useful pages could be part of this too. Jane will act as "coordinator" in NSW.
Idea number two : we want to create a collective fund to pay the costs for a cønsumer to attend Australian conferences on MH stuff. Then that person could write up a report for this newsletter. (I'm not doing it - Ed.)
To contact Jane and the people who are organising these projects, please e-mail us.
Inner Voice , at http://www.young-earth.com.au/innerv/ is a Web newsletter for survivors of sexual abuse. Published in Melbourne by SHOUT - a group for women who have survived abuse.
The national cønsumer Network conducted its AGM in Hobart during the 1998 THEMHS
conference. The new Network executive were elected along with the State delegates for 1998/9 and the details will appear here when we have them. We will include details of the proceedings at the cønsumer forum/day. Apologies for the delay.

ARISTOTLE it is the nature of chickens to cross roads
KARL MARX it was a historical inevitability
TIMOTHY LEARY because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take
SADDAM HUSSEIN this was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping fifty tons of nerve gas on it
RONALD REAGAN I forget ...
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK to boldly go where no chicken has gone before!
HIPPOCRATES because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas
LOUIS FARRAKHAN the road, you see, represents the black man. The chicken "crossed" the black man in order to trample him and keep him down
MARTIN LUTHER KING SNR. I envisage a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question
