        Various Political agendas operating in second half of 1984. 
        Refer to Archive Collection on AIDS 1984 to give a 
        comprehensive outline of the intense parliamentary and 
        public debate which occurred during the following two months.

        There appears to be two tacts taken by the political parties 
        over the second half of 1984 and the Federal Election campaign.
        The National Party State Government highlighted AIDs, 
        paedophilia and the Labor Party support for homosexuals.  
        The Labor Party State Opposition drew attention to allegations 
        of sexual relations with minors which are made against a 
        police officers.  This lead to the Sturgess inquiry; a lengthy 
        well publicised court cases and influenced the drafting of 
        Liquor Act amendments.

        "Exit" column. "Meanwhile, down at the Public Relations 
        Branch of the Premier's Department, they were having a 
        little difficulty in coming to terms with the question of
        homosexuality in the community.  The PR branch each day 
        compiles a list of broadcast news items and circulates them
        to all Ministerial offices with a classification according 
        to which department they believe would be interested. But 
        there was much mirth being expressed about the place when 
        the list included an item broadcast by The National on the
        gay rights movement's blue jeans day.  After obvious puzzling
        over it for some time, the item was finally dispatched - to 
        the bailiwick of Culture, no less." (A humorous insight into
