I’m absolutely over the moon that the wonderful Garage Girls, who inspired my novel The Codebreakers and documentary Red Lipstick Intelligence, have received the Australian Intelligence Medal. I only had to keep this secret a short time (I was partly involved in the application process) and it reminded me how difficult it must have been for these ladies to keep secrets for decades! Well done, Joyce, Coral and Ailsa, I’m so proud of you!
