HELEN Hunt might win an Oscar next week for the portrayal of a sex surrogate for a disabled man in the film The Sessions.
The film, by Australian director Ben Lewin, tells the real life story of the late Californian journalist Mark O'Brian, who spent most of his life in an iron lung as a result of childhood polio, and his experiences with a sex surrogate.
But back in Australia, the issue of sex and disabilities has been raised in a parliamentary inquiry into draft legislation for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
A Canberra man with cerebral palsy wants the services of sex workers to be considered a legitimate need for people with disabilities in the NDIS bill.
