Letter from Marjorie Stapleton of "The Australian Women's Weekly" to the Commissioner of Police requesting police press passes for herself, the assistant reporter and the photographer for the forthcoming visit of the Beatles to Brisbane

Queensland State Archives posted a photo:

Queensland Police were responsible for issuing press passes for major events. The Beatles were the biggest story around in 1964 and many media outlets wanted to cover the story. Many magazines and small regional newspapers sent reporters to Brisbane to cover the concerts held there on 29 and 30 June.
