Sorry if this has been posted already, but I didn't see coverage of Robert's Q Award:

Noel Mengel. The Courier - Mail. Brisbane, Qld.:Aug 13, 2008. p. 7

"The G.W. McLennan lifetime achievement award went to Brisbane-raised songwriter Mike Chapman, who with songwriting partner Nicky Chinn wrote '70s pop hits for Sweet and Suzi Quatro and produced Blondie's classic Parallel Lines album.

McLennan's songwriting partner in The Go-Betweens, Robert Forster, was present to accept the published song of the year award for From Ghost Town (from his album The Evangelist), his moving elegy to his late friend and collaborator."
