Editorial Board of Defender: National Journal of the Australia Defence Association

Malcolm Kennedy is a freelance writer and editor, part-time lecturer at Monash University, and the longstanding honorary editor of the ADA's quarterly national journal Defender . Prior to this he taught at Melbourne and Monash Universities and travelled extensively in East and South-East Asia. Early in his career he spent 14 years in the regular and reserve components of the Army with overseas service in Thailand, Laos and Papua New Guinea. Malcolm has long believed informed public debate on defence and wider national security issues needs more than just sectional inputs from the usual political, official and commercial sources or processes. He considers the independent and informed perspectives of the ADA have been and continue to be of great benefit to such debates, especially in helping to protect the longer-term public interest.
