Vibrant, informed and objective public debate is essential for Australia's defence and wider national security.
- This link enables you to send general enquiries to the ADA.
- It also details your responsibilities when making an enquiry.
- We will make every attempt to answer your enquiry if you identify yourself and your enquiry is expressed concisely, reasonably and politely.
- If your email contact with the ADA is to provide feedback — rather than make an enquiry — you need to send your email to our feedback link instead. Otherwise it will be filtered out as spam and remain undelivered.
- Commonly asked questions about the ADA are answered on our frequently-asked-questions pages.
Your responsibilities
-
Please note that because of occasional mischievous, dishonest or crank enquiries your email enquiry to the ADA will also be filtered out as spam and remain undelivered unless you:
-
Fill in the subject line of your email with a specific and relevant entry that assists us in directing it to the best person to answer you.
-
State your enquiry clearly, succinctly and politely.
-
Include enough information and context to enable us to provide you with a viable answer.
-
Ensure that your comments are not illegal, defamatory, offensive, repetitious, meaningless or otherwise deficient in contributing to informed public debate.
-
Have the courtesy and integrity to identify yourself appropriately — as we do in our public comment and on this website. This enables both of us to have a proper discussion by the most effective and timely means, and not be constricted by delayed, time-consuming and subject-limiting email exchanges. This means you providing your:
-
first name and family name,
-
telephone number,
-
postal address, and
-
email address.
-
Finally, please note that an alleged name, nickname and/or your email address alone are not sufficient identification to prove your bonafides. Especially if you are using a generic web-based email provider (hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc).
Addresses for your enquiries
- Our postal address for enquiries is: Australia Defence Association, PO Box 320, Erindale Centre, ACT, 2903, Australia
- Your email enquiries can be forwarded to ADA enquiries and will be processed if you have met your community discourse responsibilities as detailed above.
