Hilary, are they putting their proceedings online? How did Martin's keynote go, and did you see Lorna Hallahan?

OK, I take back every negative thing I have said about Attitude after this morning's half hour documentary of the lives of a 19 year old autistic man in Christchurch, and his families and friend. He also happens to be blind and a bit of musical savant, but that's no big deal. No editorialising narrative, just the words of those involved, mostly from the subject himself, but including brotherly sibling wisdom. No hero/tragedy subtheme or triumphal progress towards 'normality'. And also subtly promoting tolerance towards Mormon missionaries.
I do hope it will be repeated, as it is an example of superb documentary.
Sacha: Yes I hope they will be online. Martin Sullivan's keynote on the Treaty of Waitangi as model for disability partnership was great but challenged some (I'll ask if I can put in on humans). Lorna part of lively final session with Fiona Kumari Campbell.
