Note on the Dead Source

It seems that the document's details can be found here if you search it's ID 'CA 1533'. The NAA says here that accessing 'not examined' records requires contacting them directly. Also that ID page says the document is from 13th of Jun 1989, so it cannot have been the source for the statement "Australian troops deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq were briefed by DIO on enemy weapons and forces."

This article is generally and severely lacking in sources, to be honest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueGalahad (talk • contribs) 10:34, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Note to non-Australian editors

Please note the correct spelling of defence/defense in this context is defence, as this is an article about an Australian organisation and hence follows British, not American, spelling. See here for more information. DirectEdge 23:35, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Note to DirectEdge

DirectEdge, after the Herald made inquiries into the Wikiscanner scandal at the Department of Defence, the department said it would ban Defence staff from accessing the encyclopedia. Why are you still editing Wikipedia?

Why? Because I don't work for the Department of Defence... DirectEdge 00:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
