		The test case centered on Lisa Meldrum, a single Melbourne woman in her late 30s who sought infertility treatment after trying for several years without success, both in de facto partnerships and outside of them, to become pregnant.
		Noted Meldrum: "All young girls dream of a husband, a house and a family, but it's just not the way it is for everybody and it wasn't that way for me. And this is what it has come to."
		Even more anxiety producing is the (mistaken) belief that what Meldrum was asserting in her court action--and what the court was affirming in its decision--was that men are unnecessary in the important business of forming families.

		Meldrum was an atrocious interviewer, utterly inarticulate and shamelessly obsequious.
		The recent six-hour television ABC documentary on the history of Australian rock'n'roll Long Way To the Top preserves for rueful posterity one of the pivotal moments in the show's history: Prince Charles is, for reasons unclear, the edition's star guest.
		Stunned by Meldrum's tortuous burbling, Charles asks, "Don't you have one of those teleprompters?" When the heir to the British throne is sharper than the nation's topmost pop picker, you know you've got a problem.
