5. i wrote a submission to the Ombudsman which resulted in the dismantling and restructure of a government department (former NSW Department of Housing).

6.I have had proposals of marriage from two Professors (not at the same time!) and said no to both. Both I had never had a personal conversation with prior to the proposal.

7. I used to be very afraid of spiders, and have nightmares about them, but have overcome this fear.
