Recent radio, television, press and on-line discussions with Australia Defence Association participation

Working with the media is integral to the Australia Defence Association's independent public-interest watchdog role, especially our public education and our long-term focused public-interest advocacy responsibilities. These records include transcripts, audio archives or podcasts from media interviews, discussion programs and on-line opinion fora featuring longer or more significant ADA input on a topic of particular public interest at the time.

Transcripts or podcasts from radio or television news programs are generally not featured. They are rarely available and the short "news-grab" format involved anyway means ADA commentary has necessarily been limited, usually subject to significant truncation and, because of selective or out-of-context quotation or other heavy editing, does not accurately or fairly reflect the ADA's policy position.

Some commentary from major daily current affairs programs is also included below, even if relatively brief, where the importance of the subject warrants it.

Detail on podcasting software can be found at: http://www.podcastingnews.com/topics/Podcast_Software.html

If you wish to enquire about matters raised in these programs, or provide feedback to the ADA on its commentary generally, you can do so on our enquiries or feedback pages respectively.
