[Sadly my colleague and co-author Associate Professor Christopher Newell of the University of Tasmania died in June 2008, after this paper had been accepted but before its final publication. A fitting tribute to his work in the field of disability support and human rights may be found at the website of the Tasmanian Centre for Global Learning — see www.afairerworld.org/_HRWeek/christopher_newell.html.
This marked the occasion of Christopher being awarded the Tasmanian Human Rights award in December 2007 "For services to people with disability over many years, particularly through advocacy and research." His presence will be greatly missed.]
