Henry Gullett was the first Minister for Information.[1]
The Australian News and Information Bureau (ANIB) was created within the DOI in 1940, based in New York City, with the main goal of informing the United States of Australia's war effort, thereby nurturing and building the relationship between the two countries. The agency later evolved into the Australian Information Service,[2] eventually becoming part of DFAT.[3]
