  • Australia's Joint Approach Past, Present and Future
    Australia’s Joint Approach Past, Present and Future Joint Studies Paper Series No. 1 Tim McKenna & Tim McKay This page is intentionally blank AUSTRALIA’S JOINT APPROACH PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE by Tim McKenna & Tim McKay Foreword Welcome to Defence’s Joint Studies Paper Series, launched as we continue the strategic shift towards the Australian Defence Force (ADF) being a more integrated joint force. This series aims to broaden and deepen our ideas about joint and focus our vision through a single warfighting lens. The ADF’s activities have not existed this coherently in the joint context for quite some time. With the innovative ideas presented in these pages and those of future submissions, we are aiming to provoke debate on strategy-led and evidence-based ideas for the potent, agile and capable joint future force. The simple nature of ‘joint’—‘shared, held, or made by two or more together’—means it cannot occur in splendid isolation. We need to draw on experts and information sources both from within the Department of Defence and beyond; from Core Agencies, academia, industry and our allied partners. You are the experts within your domains; we respect that, and need your engagement to tell a full story. We encourage the submission of detailed research papers examining the elements of Australian Defence ‘jointness’—officially defined as ‘activities, operations and organisations in which elements of at least two Services participate’, and which is reliant upon support from the Australian Public Service, industry and other government agencies. This series expands on the success of the three Services, which have each published research papers that have enhanced ADF understanding and practice in the sea, land, air and space domains.

    ROTARY INTERNATIONAL THE FIRST FORTY YEARS. A HISTORY OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF BELCONNEN A.C.T. INCORPORATED. Authors: Past President John Sheldrick Past President Peter Oldham 2 Historical Note from the Authors This history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen Inc. was researched and developed in two parts and hence the ‗Forward‘ comprising input from two Presidents and the Charter President. The first part was commissioned by the then President Warren Karle in his Rotary year, 2007-2008, and comprised most of Part One – The Formative Years. The second was commissioned by President Rod Menzies in his Rotary year, 2010-2011 as a means of recognising in some small way the 40th Anniversary of the Club. We hope that this publication will give another strong indication that the impact the Rotary Club of Belconnen has had, not only on the local community, but nationally and indeed internationally. The camaraderie, fellowship and contribution of all members over the years are quite amazing. We trust you find it a good read. John Sheldrick Peter Oldham Past President Past President 3 Foreword John Sheldrick and Peter Oldham have devoted many hours in compiling this history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen. It has required much research into early records, and has resulted in a very readable and comprehensive account of the formation of one of the most successful clubs in the district. We were chartered as ‗Rotary Club of Canberra – Belconnen‘ in 1971. This was a very exciting time in the development of Belconnen. Charter members were mostly new to Canberra, in new jobs, living in new houses in new suburbs.
