Deputy Directors-General not publicly named?[edit]

The article says "only one of the former Deputies, David Fricker, has been publicly identified" without citation. I find it a little difficult to believe, since: SBS quotes DDG Heather Cook last June; the Australian Dictionary of Biography identifies Ron Richards as a DDG in the 50s; Paliament House refers to "the Deputy-Director General of Security, Mr Ian Cousins"; The SMH identifies Keith Turbayne as DDG in the '70s, in his obituary; etc. I did find The Herald saying that Kerri Hartland, former DDG, is the only member of ASIO identified publicly other than the DG, but could someone help me understand what that means in the context of the other sources? The one former DDG referred to in the article also isn't Kerry Hartland, it's David Fricker. Mortee (talk) 14:45, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
