Description

AIRAC, no. 9 - a report commissioned around 1980 by Prime Minister Fraser. 'It gave the British nuclear tests and the situation at Maralinga a glowing report . . . The governement-appointed council found there was no radioactivity problem, minimal impact of the bomb tests, no possibility of a "black mist", and no illnesses or early deaths caused to Aboriginals or anyone else.' [Frank Walker "Maralinga" page 204] Few believed this report and it was soon discredited by the Kerr Report c.1984.
