When superannuation pioneer Mavis Robertson was in her seventies,
she was showered with awards and honours. But something was
missing from the life story shared with the public at this time:
the more than 30 years she spent as a leading member of the
Communist Party of Australia. Historian Alice Garner and Mavis's
son Peter Robertson delve into this part of his mother's life,
including her extensive ASIO security file.
