From Down Under

This is "Mental As" week on Australia's public broadcaster, the ABC (which the neo-cons would dearly love to privatise or shut down).

On last nights QandA forum, this wonderful lady, who is Bi-Polar, stole the show and won everyone's heart – enjoy!

but where she is now is a very good place by comparison.

She has a natural gift for telling a story, and she's made her experience a positive thing. Everybody warmed to her.
