First and third sentences[edit]

The first and third sentences in this article need referencing (or perhaps deletion/modification). In my view what DORCA did is not so very mysterious, and these two sentences are in slight conflict with the remainder of the article. I think there is no doubt that Conlon with his penchant for avoiding correct bureaucratic pathways, and his extremely forthright reporting (see the Pybus reference) antagonised a great many people, and was disliked by them: Post-war he never served his country again in a leadership position, with the exception of a short stint at ASOPA.) Thus, Conlon the only director of DORCA, had the powerful backing of Blamey but was in conflict with Forde and Calwell in the cabinet, and probably many others.
