Press releases (speeches, statements, radio talks and interviews)

This series of paper-based press releases was accumulated in the office of J M (Malcolm) Fraser mainly during his time as Minister for Defence (1970-1971) and as Prime Minister (1975-1983). Some papers, however, relate directly to his electorate interests as Member for Wannon, his second term as Minister for Education and Science (1971-1972) and the eight months he was Leader of the Opposition (1975). The subject coverage in the series is broad, including defence, education policy, Vietnam, election campaigns, Loans Affair, official visits and appointments, electorate and rural matters. These records are currently held at the University of Melbourne Archives.
