My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I refer to articles on the front page of The Australian newspaper last Thursday, and again on Saturday, centring on secret American Korean War army files concerning Flying Officer Bruce Gillan and 42 other missing Australians. Did the Australian government receive from its ally the United States a secret communique issued in September 1953 that named nine Australian personnel as being alive and in prison in Korea? And did our government at the same time continue to aver that they had been killed in action?
