The homology of surface diffeomorphism groups and a question of Morita

We answer a question posed by Morita concerning the non-triviality of certain secondary characteristic classes for surface bundles. In doing so we are naturally led to show that a form of Harer stability holds for surface diffeomorphism groups in homology of small degree.
