This article omits a large part of Phillis Cilento's life, quote from the guardian's article cited:
As “Medical Mother” and “Mother MD”, Cilento wrote columns for Brisbane’s Courier-Mail and for women’s magazines. In one 1953 column, she described homosexuals as part of a “cult” and a “malignant tumour” on the national life. In 1944, she wrote that “it would not be in the best interests of children ... to be cared for by coloured labour”.
She was also a eugenics advocate(this reference was removed from her husbands description wikipedia.org
also strong advocate for sterilization of mentally ill etc
Many references in "Eugenic ideology and racial fitness in Queensland, 1900-1950"
