Papers relating to the 'Loans Affair' maintained by J M (Malcolm) Fraser

This series of paper-based records contains folders of material relating to the 'Loans Affair', maintained by J M (Malcolm) Fraser as Leader of the Opposition (March-November 1975). A few papers date a little earlier, however, and some others were added in 1976.

The folders are essentially of two types. The first are those folders including reference material sourced from media coverage of the Loans Affair (news cuttings, transcripts of interviews). The second group of folders comprises other documents (mainly photocopies of statutory 3 declarations, affidavits, telexes, extracts from Hansard) which would have assisted the Opposition in its campaign for full disclosure of the affair. These include a bound collection of papers authorised by the House of Representatives in July 1975 and copies of others relating to the Queensland investigations.

These records are currently held at the University of Melbourne Archives.
