I missed ACA, but saw the Panel...
What's going on?
I didn't see anything too wrong with it... she could've gone off set, i knew it was cause an uproar... i expected TT not ACA :p
It was all a storm in a D cup. :D
Both TT & ACA ran stories about it.ACA are even running a phone poll. :rolleyes:
Go to the local shopping centre and you'll see the same thing.It was after 10.30pm when she did it and you didn't see anything.
BTW,no one complained when The Panel showed footage a couple of years ago of Kate topless in Chances .

Well yeah thats true mate, but honestly, I couldn't really care less.
Breast feeding is an issue for some people, and not an issue for others.
Usually it only makes headlines when a woman makes a public stand ala langbrook or that poly a few months back.
Let them go nuts with it I say, its very hard to make an argument against it without looking like a "male pig" these days...
Let me know when Jo Stanley gets hers out....:cool:

Exactly. It's a non-issue. Worse things are shown on TV that pass with very little fuss......
Why is it that they could have shown a gratuitous breast shot and no one would give a crap, but she uses her breast for the most natural thing in the world (and the whole reason we have breasts in the first place) and it causes such a stir?
:confused:

Its as simple as when a baby cries it needs feeding and it keeps crying until it gets fed.
I didnt even know she was a mum though.
any normal person would leave the set. it didnt have to happen on TV.
of course there was an agenda which totally turned me off.

Yeah, buddy. I hope there was.
Women should be allowed to breast-feed their children wherever and whenever a child needs to be fed.
The fact we make a taboo out of such a harmless, natural act is dispicable.
I'm really over the whole 'time and place for that kind of thing' argument. Wore thin ages ago.
Why is it that men are so 'distracted' by it? Can't concentrate on the task at hand? Well avert your gaze if it causes you such distress. Why are people so obsessed about looking anyway?
Chances are, you were nibbling on one too at such an age.

Wasn't ACA the program Jana Wendt walked from in protest after the 'topless hardware store' story she was forced to present about a decade back?
So it is okay for ACA to screen exploitive material for the perve factor, but a woman on a rival network going about the normal routine of feeding her tyke gets them all astir?
Pathetic chance for empty moralising by Ray for the blue rinse set.

well true, I suppose I would not have thought less of her had she nicked off to the side for a few minutes.
However, the point is that all the fuss over breast-feeding in public is an anachoristic belief that really should have gone out years ago. Why people are still hung up about it is a mystery for the ages.
Maybe she was pushing a point, but with some luck it will help break down some of these outdated standards that still rule in society.

I'd say if she had any agenda it would be probably to see what the reaction is, and maybe to bring the issue to a head. It's true that she could have gone off the set but really why should she?
I guess you can argue that I'd be sticking up for women's rights because I am a woman, but in all honesty I would probably be more uncomfortable about breastfeeding in public than the people around me would be!!!!!!! But it's something that has to be done, and has to be done on demand. And I guess it would make it easier if women just stayed locked indoors while their child is still breastfeeding but unfortunately life doesn't work that way.
It's something you see everywhere, on public transport, in shopping centres, etc. Why is it so different if it happens on TV?
Oh and I just wanted to say otaku, this post isn't directed at you, it's just that I responded to your post at the top.

She didn't need to do it.
There was maybe 10 minutes at tops left in the show at the time.
She couldn't have waited....?

Actually, if she'd gone off set we would not have heard her for 5-10 minutes, which could only be a good thing.

Bottle feed it.
Bit ludicrous though, the whole thing was obviously done to provoke comment. Glenn's boob car wash didn't even raise an eyebrow. Some people need to get a life if this sort of thing offends them.
Jane Turner & Glenn Robbins running around in the nude on Kath & Kim last night was more offensive ( especially that rear shot of Jane running into the house :D )

I know, that shot was one I could have lived without, but I found it more funny than offensive. :p
I guess she could have bottle fed it, but I guess then again it's her choice how and where she feeds her baby.
I agree with you, it was done to provoke comment, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing because I do think it's an issue that DOES need to be pushed a bit. And the reaction to it just proves that a little more.

And then she takes the opportunity to make a political/social statement.

If no one on the show mentioned she was breast feeding it would've looked like she was just holding her baby. I can't understand any fuss about this.
TV shows and movies show plenty of nudity, sex, murders, rape, assault, vandalism, etc. There is rarely a mention of any of this anywhere. Why hasn't ACA run a story and phone poll about "American Pie" where you see a group of teenages having a perv at a naked girl, or where someone sticks his old fella into an apple pie, or the whole scene about Stifler drinking......well you know what he was drinking?
All of you friggen morons who have stated on this board that they were offended by Kate breastfeeding or that they can't understand why she did it, get real and stop being such immature, over-reacting, contradicting d**kheads.

I think she did it deliberatley. Right of wrong. I believe she was trying to highlight the issue, which I don't think is such a bad thing.
However, its not a question for me of seeing breastfeeding on TV which in my view is no problem whatsoever.
However, breastefeeding in the workplace can be offputting for colleagues
Its rude to stare at womens breats and certainly it is when they are exposed, all be it with a baby on the end.
I just think its very distracting for people who are supposed to be "working' whilst its going on.
If facilities exist for it to be done in private then I think it should be.
If there is no such facilities then you have to make do with what's available.

By all means feed the baby, but is it NECESSARY to do it on the set? What's wrong with ducking out back stage to do it, and missing the last 10 minutes of the show. Most people know she is a new mother, and it wouldn't be an unexpected thing.
I'm not outraged or anything... just think it was a bit unnecessary to do something on-air when it didn't need to be... unless of course there was an agenda.
For those who say "it's natural, what's wrong with it", please don't complain when Tommy G or Santo drop the strides and back out a big brown turtle-head on screen because they were just busting.. it's only natural after all.

Thats fine but whats wrong with going off set to breast feed.She was clearly trying to prove a point that its not an issue.
The Panel is a chat show based at the 20-40 year age group and who most of whom wouldn't give a stuff. I saw and my only reaction to it was gezz this has got to be a first on Australian tv.
It was unobtrusive they didn't stop talking and I don't think anything was shown of her breast so who gives a f***.

So do boobs actually have a use other than just to titillate and deceive you all as to our intentions. :rolleyes:
It was a stunt but a good one apparently even if I didn't see it.
Shame on you all for thinking boobs were just there to make women look enticing to men. Shame on Kate for thinking we all wanted to see hers, ( but she did have to do two things at once!!)

Not if there's a babies head in the way.
She shouldn't even be on tv anyway. She should be home cooking for her husband.
I highly doubt she'd change a nappy on TV. Maybe if the ratings are that bad than can broadcast the conception.

New mothers should be encouraged to breast feed wherever, and whenever, possible, just as long as they find themselves able to breast feed
(believe it or not, some new mums find that they cannot breast feed)
It's a natural thing, it's good for the new born baby, it's good for the new mum, when the baby wants to be fed, by all means, feed the baby.
I really fail to understand why anyone can find this objectionable?
All power to you new mums, do the right thing by your baby, breast feed it.
No, my comments are not sexually based, when a mum breast feeds, you don't see her boobs, you just see the baby's head
I don't have a problem with babies being fed when they are hungry, but the baby can wait 5 to 10 mins, without causing it any undue stress, so if you are in an unsound environment for feeding the baby, then you can go somewhere more quiet & settling for it.
If anyone has ever been on TV, you would know how hot & glaring studio lights are, definitely not a good place to feed a baby, I think she was just trying to push the public feeding line, which I don't have a problem with, except it was a very poor place to do it & definitely not good for her baby.

Give it a dummy, or let it suck on your finger, that gives you about 10 minutes, babies tend to cry well before they actually need a feed.

Finger and dummies are good conduits for germs.
Look I dont want to be like some of those breast feeed fascists they have at the nursing mothers association but it shouldnt matter where you are.

We are talking about the mothers finger, so it's the mothers germs. :confused:
You obviously chose to ignore what I said about TV lights, if a mother cares about her baby, she would make sure that she feeds the baby in an environment that is best for the baby, under hot, glaring TV lights is not good for the baby, she should have taken it off set, not so she wasn't in public, but for the good of the baby.

Not really the mothers germs, no.
1. Go to the toilet, wipe bum, wash hands, stick finger in babies mouth-not the sort of stuff you want your baby to eat.
2. Smoke cigarette, stick finger in babies mouth-yuck.
Just yesterday I saw a father take his cigarette out, pick up a dummy from the ground, clean the dummy by putting it into his mouth, give it to the baby and then put the smoke back into his mouth.
I forgot about your other point Mantis. You are right, studio lights are no place for a baby.

Besides, you didn't even watch it so I don't know why you're complaining.
Perhaps even the thought of it offends you?
And of course she had an agenda - to annoy people like you.

I personally dont see anything wrong with it. The babys hungry, she feeds it. Its not like you could see her boobs anyway people. I believe we should encourage Mothers to put their baby first and everyone else 2nd! There really is nothing offensive about it, its the most natural thing in the world!

I agree Carly, but in this case I feel she didn't put the baby first, she was using her baby to push an agenda, it was not the place to feed a baby, surely you can see that. :confused:

Do you want to dig a little deeper or are you actually going to put forward some kind of argument this time?
I'm all for a little friendly debate, but when people complain about something (that they didn't even see I might add) and then back up their argument with pathetic 2-word replies, you soon realise who is worth debating things with and who isn't.

Fair enough.
Perhaps you should make yourself CLEAR next time you decide to go off-topic.
I'm sure you could see how I interpreted your post the way i did. After all, you didn't say that you had nothing against breast-feeding in public either.....
You kept saying i was 'complaining'. I didn't 'complain' at all - why the hell would i complain when i didn't watch the show?
You DID complain! The clicked on the thread, clicked reply, and then complained!
And that's a good question - why the hell would you complain if you don't watch the show?

Babies can't actually talk and tell their mother that they are hungry.
I think that it is just pathetic of ppl who make such a fuss over breast feeding in public.
How can a newborn baby tell you it's hungry? babies cry all the time. That's all they do when they need changing, need to be fed or when they are sick.

nothing wrong with breast feeding, the problem is she makes a big deal out of it, she wants people to see it.

Who the **** cares?
One of our colleagues from another office came into our office to show us baby photos.
Of course some of the baby photos were taken in between gulps so included shots of his wife's breast. I didn't think it was worth a load of fuss, obviously neither did the bloke. But it was the subject of the odd comment for the rest of the day.
Then again we were in the London office and the dad was over from Frankfurt.
Was he making a statement by not covering his wife's breast when getting his baby photos? No, he just didn't see anything wrong with it.
From what I've seen of KL I doubt she thought it was anything to get worked up over either. I doubt she gave it much thought.
You want to get outraged at babies being 'used' for commercial gain? Speak out about child slavery, the baby trade and other injustices.

She wanted people to see her tits in 'Chances' too. That was gratuitous, this was a natural, inoffensive function. Yet you are unhappy that she wants people to see it?
Off topic: Not that I watched Chances more than once or twice, but I did respect that show for using sex instead of violence as an attention-getter.

Third reply in a row...
Look this is a pretty pathetic display by some people with entrenched sexist ideals.
This is worthy of a Seinfeld episode. "Oh my god she shouldn't be breast feeding on TV! Not that there's anything wrong with breast feeding. No sir. Love the breast feed. If I had 'em myself I'd breast feed till the cows came home."
*quick bass riff to highlight laugh track while cutting to next scene*
OK Appleyard, you have had 3 replies, I will say what I posted earlier.
Being a Mum myself, I don't have a problem with breastfeeding in public, EXCEPT when they do it for an agenda & forget what is in the best interest of the baby.
She was saying I am a Mum & if I want to breast feed on TV, then that is OK, my point is, the minute she did that she put the best interests of the child second, to the breast feeding agenda.
So, is it for the baby, or for the Mum. :confused:

There is a time and a place for everything. I have no problems with breast feeding in public but the point that irks me is was Kate Langbrook working, is it her job to be a panelist on the show. Same as with the politician wanting to feed the baby in chambers.
You go to work to work. You take maternity leave and go back to work but still breast feeding - express the milk and put it in a bottle for the feeds that are due when you are working.
Can you see average everyday Australians getting away with this. Babies should not be in the work place, granted you may be back for a visit to show off bubs to your work colleagues and fine if it needs feeding then but not if you are working.

I'm sure Mums aren't getting off when feeding their babies. How can feeding your baby be disgusting???

LMAO :D
I don't think theres anything wrong with it, when my cousin did it with her baby a while back I didn't watch but I wasn't repulsed and had to run from the room. I just have to wonder what her other agenda was in doing it (apart from feeding her baby)
How about what she called the little ****er - Lewis Lewis - that is ridiculous and she is an idiot. What a bitcch to make your kid grow up with that name.
