I am including here the url of my blog  for IWD 2008 if you'd like to re-read it.

One of the people I wrote about was Chief Commissioner of Police, Christine Nixon. We have in recent weeks seen her retire as Chief Commissioner of Police to be appointed to lead the recovery effort following the devastating Victorian bushfires - an inspired appointment.
