Previously secret AWB documents have shown the organisation was told Australia would join the invasion of Iraq a year before the Federal Government told us that it was going to war.
The information came from Australia's Ambassador to the United Nations, John Dauth.
When Prime Minister Howard announced that Australian troops would join the invasion on March 1, 2003, he also claimed his decision was made just before that.
Now the secret AWB board notes prove that early in 2002 the Australian Ambassador to the UN, Mr Dauth, said Australia would support and participate in US action, 18 months before the invasion.
