Bibliography
Most of my primary sources have come from the National Archives of Australia (NAA), the National Library of Australia and the National Archives of the United Kingdom (Kew). However, I have also been fortunate to have access to other equally crucial forms of primary material as well. The late New Scientist journalist Ian Anderson kept extensive files, including audio recordings. I was granted access to some of these early in my PhD study, and have used several of them in this book. In addition, Dr Geoff Williams at ARPANSA gave me access to previously unpublished material from his late colleague John Moroney, particularly related to the Roller Coaster investigation and his side of the 1993 New Scientist story. Also, the former Canberra Times journalist Paul Malone received numerous files from government departments, notably the Department of Defence and the Department of Supply, under an accelerated document release program in the 1980s. Paul generously gave me access to these files, which do not have NAA numbers. The same files may well have found their way to the NAA, but I have used the unnumbered files provided by Paul. I note these particular files in the relevant parts of the bibliographical details.
