What do you guys think about this? Should the name of the company to released. I believe it should be, as women have a right to know.

I've only heard a little snippet about this story on the news but from what I've heard, I agree that the company should be named to release the anxiety of all Victorian women who took a pap smear last year and are unsure whether they could be affected. The situation now is that (if I heard correctly) 400,000 women are unsure whether they will be affected. The company's name should be released so women definitely will know whether they are affected or not.

I heard that Derryn Hinch was contemplating naming the company on air and risking a jail sentence in doing so. Has he decided yet whether or not to release the details?

He named the company on his Drive program yesterday on 3AK. He risked being jailed for doing so. A court injunction has been put on the media and in particular the Herald-Sun who were going to exposed the company under investigation.

A joke I once heard comes to mind. Why do they call it a PAP SMEAR?

Cause if they called it a C*** SCRAPE no one would get it done!

:D

What if i said the reports were false? That the media have sensationalized the whole saga? That there were no incorrect results reported?
