The Best Ever!

They were the best Paralympic Games ever! Or at least that was the claim made by Dr Robert Steadward, International Paralympic Committee President, at the Closing Ceremony of the Paralympic Games Sydney 2000. And so ended the Paralympic Games which had dominated the Australian media from 18 October to 29 October 2000. But what messages did the public now have about paralympic sport, about athletes, and about disability?

Following is a sample of the major headlines selected from The Courier-Mail and Sunday Mail, both published in Brisbane.
