As described by Gordon, this file 'contains material relating to my book on Dawn Fraser, published in 1965. Because I have been putting things together in some haste, I have not explained the circumstances of the New York publishers, William Morrow, becoming involved in the book. What happened was this: I noticed in a writer's newletter that John Willey, chief of William Morrow, was in Australia and interested in hearing about manuscripts by Australian writers. He stayed in Melbourne at the Southern Cross for a couple of nights. I wrote him a letter (the draft from which my wife typed it in the folder) pointing out that Dawn was pretty certain to win her third successive 100 metres freestyle gold medal at the coming Games. He saw me, he was enthusiastic, he wrote back. That letter is in the file. The rest flowed from there. Some of the early correspondence makes it clear that Dawn was a professional (and thus liable for disqualification) while she was still seen as an amateur'.

Correspondence, documents and newpaper articles regarding the Melbourne Sun News-Pictorial's 1034 campaign, 1970 - 1980 (File 10) - Box 2 (MS Acc02.143)

As described by Gordon, "documents, cuttings, letters relating to The Sun's remarkably successful road campaign, which had the effect of turning around the death toll. The campaign, which received praise around the world (even not so long ago in the New Yorker), began in 1970 and continued for eight years, until my departure for Brisbane. It aimed in the first year to cut Victoria's road toll from the previous year's total of 1034. Its theme was: "Declare war on Ten Thirty Four". Its success can be measured by the fact that the current Victorian road toll is about half the 1969 toll. It led to Victoria becoming the first government in the world to introduce compulsory seat belt legislation. What it really did was create a climate of concern about the road toll, which enabled the passage and acceptance of legislation that was thought (previously, and in many places for a long time afterwards) to constitute a restriction on freedom of choice. In 1977 the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons awarded me its Graeme Grove Medal for services to road safety."

Documents include newspaper coverage, editorial comment, Hansard copies, letters. We were found guilt. Doug Wilkie died a couple of months ago, and the episode featured heavily in his obituaries. Also included is my typed version of what I would (and did) say in parliament, and my refusal to apologise. The affair took a comic turn when the president admitted the next day that he had the judgment typed in front of him before he heard us present our cases. A sequel came nine years later when the Legislative Council voted to expunge its earlier findings from the records, conceding in fact that it had been wrong'.

But quite apart from the significance of the case, the documents here contain a huge amount of valuable information concerning the rules and history of the Olympic movement internationally and in Australia'.
