Biographical details and press clippings on personal issues

This series of paper-based records contains personal biographical information relating to J M (Malcolm) Fraser accumulated by his Press Secretary (David Barnett) and other Press Office staff, mainly during Mr Fraser's Prime Ministership. The papers cover the period from November 1975 ('caretaker' government) to July 1982 (first half of the fifth Fraser Ministry), although some papers are dated earlier. The files comprise biographical notes about Mr Fraser and his wife (Mrs Tamara [Tamie] Fraser) and press clippings relating to the Prime Minister, his family and his business interests. It includes a list of Mr Fraser's clubs and associations, extracts from speeches and statements, a booklet on the history of the Fraser clan (The Clan Fraser of Lovat) and other material. The press clippings cover a broad range of political issues, with some focussing on Mrs Fraser's overseas visits and other aspects of her life as the Prime Minister's wife. Copies of 'Briefing on Beggs Pastoral Loan and Companies' and related Press Office transcripts of Parliamentary statements and various radio and TV interviews concerning the Rural Finance Commission loan are also included in this series. Three items are currently held at the National Archives of Australia. The rest of the collection is held at the University of Melbourne Archives.
