2007.0003 [PRESS RELEASES (SPEECHES, STATEMENTS, RADIO TALKS AND INTERVIEWS)]
Date Range of Records: 1956-1975
Creator(s):
- Fraser, John Malcolm [1930-2015]
Press releases, speeches, speech notes, radio talks and transcripts of interviews maintained by Mr Fraser's press staff. This series was accumulated in the office of J M (Malcolm) Fraser during his time as Minister for Defence (1970-71) and as Prime Minister (1975-83). Some papers, however, related directly to his electorate interests as Member for Wannon, his second term as Minister for Education and Science (1971-72) and the eight months he was Leader of the Opposition (1975). The files appear to have been a master set of press statements, speeches, speech notes, radio talks and transcripts of interviews maintained by Mr Fraser's press staff, including David Barnett (Press Secretary, 1975-82). The subject matter is broad and includes defence matters, education policy, Vietnam, election campaigns, the Loans Affair, official visits and appointments, and electorate and rural matters. A number of items from this series are currently held at the National Archives of Australia (see list for details). Formerly National Archives of Australia series M1229.
