KIWI CRICKETER GETS MATERNITY LEAVE

NZ remains heads and shoulders above all when it comes to the social welfare of its employees despite limited revenue when compared to the big 3.

I do not believe Aus or India have even conceptualized maternity leave.

New Zealand women's captain Amy Satterthwaite will be taking an indefinite break from cricket as she prepares to have her first child with her wife and team-mate Lea Tahuhu. A New Zealand Cricket statement said Satterthwaite will return to the game "when the time is right", but she will continue to be contracted under the newly introduced Women's Master Agreement.

The birth of a child is despicable?
You religious bigot usually stay quiet when children are slaughtered in crusade wars but get all warlike when the word homosexual is concerned.

Is religious intolerance greater than any other intolerance??? If so why?

Got you!

Man, simply. Folks should live and let live. We spend too much time trying to impose our values on others. Sometimes we forget to live our own lives.

Life is too short for constant bickering on things we cannot change. Leads to frustration, disease and discontent.

Says who?

What harm have they done to you? Have they hated on anyone? Have they killed anyone? Have they harmed an immigrant, a hungry child or a homeless person?

Move on and let people be.

Anyway, maternity leave is a worthy move by the respective cricket organisations. Bravo to NZ.
