Why did the Australian government provide incorrect casualty figures during world war 2?
Australia was under attack from all corners, bombings in the north, naval attacks on western ports, and submarines were sinking ships in eastern harbours.
While none of this was enough to destroy Australia it did have a tremendously negative impact on the moral of Australians. The prevailing thought at this time was Australia was about to be invaded.
In order to lessen damage to our moral, the Australian government provided incorrect casualty figures to make people think it wasn't as bad as they thought it was.
For example, the bombings of Darwin killed over 250+ people but the government announced only 17 people had been killed.
