Deputy Secretary fails to move officers on Menadue appointment
The Deputy Secretary Peter Bailey attempted to mobilize the Second Division Officers Association to protest John Menadue's appointment as Secretary of the Prime Minister's Department.

Bailey drafted a critical note asserting career service risks and political patronage implications, raising questions about his own future and influence within the Royal Commission. The draft letter circulated to Second Division and other officers, though the association did not adopt the proposal.
