    D R E Y F U S C A S E - A U S T R A L I A SUPPLEMENT TO THIRD MINISTERIAL REPRESENTATION EX-MAJOR A K WARREN CASE 1. The governance of the Australian Defence force (ADF) and its Military Justice System (MJS) is exercised by the Minister for Defence or, if he fails, by the Prime Minister. MAJGEN J Morlan states that Australians who enlist in the ADF agree to a contract to die for vital national interests as determined by John Howard or whoever else is the incumbent Prime Minister of the day. The generals also argue that as the need arises the MJS is there to enforce that contract. Yet the Prime Minister and his portfolio responsible ministers remain unconditionally subservient to the generals’ on- going corruption of the Administrative Law component of the MJS as a substitute for genuine leadership over the service men and women of the ADF. 2. The Major Warren case is a history of responsible ministers’ abuses of their governance of the MJS for the past 26 years. The case is a pantomime of a “Yes, Prime Minister” farce turned evil by the Liberal Party politicians who seek to disown responsibility for their administration, control and decision-making in it. In complicity with the generals they have perpetrated decades of maladministration and impropriety against the individual and violated all notions of duty of care so as to maintain their own self-interests and cover-ups. 3. The Chief of Defence Force (CofDF), Air Chief Marshall Angus Houston has been forced to now set up an independent agency to investigate misconduct and unfairness in the ADF because the Service Chiefs lack the integrity and courage needed for leadership propriety over the MJA.

  • The Evolution of the Australian Defence Force Gap Year Program
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2013–14 8 MAY 2014 The evolution of the Australian Defence Force Gap Year program Dr Nathan Church Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security Executive summary • Through the Australian Defence Force (ADF) Gap Year program and the preceding Ready Reserve scheme, Australian school-leavers have had the opportunity to experience full-time military training without the obligations of longer-term initial periods of service. • Both these initiatives were designed as cost-effective means of increasing the ADF’s capability and flexibility in its personnel requirements. The Gap Year program was particularly successful in attracting more female recruits into the ADF. • However, despite receiving generally positive independent evaluations, both the Gap Year program and Ready Reserve scheme were unable to fully develop and expand as expected, due in part to reduced budgetary circumstances. These initiatives also came to prove too restrictive and often incompatible with broader ADF requirements, which meant that the ADF could not fully support the substantial training burden associated with them. • Since the cancellation of the Gap Year program in 2012, the ADF has continued to support the concept of reducing initial periods of service for new recruits, offering a selection of roles within the Army and Air Force with an initial full-time commitment of either one or two years. The current Government has also announced the re-establishment of the Gap Year Program, to commence in early 2015.

  • STRICKLAND, Andrew
    DON DUNSTAN FOUNDATION 1 DON DUNSTAN ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Andrew STRICKLAND This is George Lewkowicz for the Don Dunstan History Project for the Don Dunstan Foundation, today being the 6th March 2009, interviewing Mr Andrew Strickland, who worked in the Premier’s Department and later on the Department of Environment and Conservation. The location is Mr Strickland’s home in Adelaide. Andrew, thanks very much for doing this interview for the Don Dunstan Foundation. Can you just talk a bit about yourself, your educational background and employment background and how you got into the Premier’s Department? Yes, sure, George. Well, going back I suppose the fact that I was born in Adelaide and have a direct family relationship with the place situates me to a certain extent. But I went to Adelaide University and did an honours degree in History at Adelaide University, and while there was quite involved in student politics, and at that time it was the first time actually I met Don Dunstan, back in those times. The ALP1 Club at the University of Adelaide had been rather withering on the vine – This was the early 1960s, was it? – yes, would have been 1960, ’61, I think – and a group of us, which included David Combe and Gordon Bilney and Margaret Penny as she was then – Margaret Lehman – oh, and many others, actually, decided we’d try and revive this and, given the field of our studies, we were interested in questions of social democracy and mixed economies. At that stage, Don was a leading figure in the Fabian Society, which of course was the intellectual powerhouse – – –.

    With Friends Like These: Australia, the United States, and Southeast Asian Détente Andrea Benvenuti, David Martin Jones Journal of Cold War Studies, Volume 21, Number 2, Spring 2019, pp. 27-57 (Article) Published by The MIT Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/726149 Access provided at 7 Jun 2019 05:49 GMT from UNSW Library With Friends Like These Australia, the United States, and Southeast Asian Détente ✣ Andrea Benvenuti and David Martin Jones The death of former Australian Labor Party (ALP) leader Edward Gough Whitlam in October 2014 offered an opportunity to reassess his politi- cal legacy. Most obituaries praised his tenure as prime minister (December 1972–October 1975). For Australian columnist Troy Bramston, Whitlam “was inimitable.”1 Paul Kelly, the Australian newspaper’s editor-at-large, main- tained that Whitlam “bequeathed to his successors a series of policy glories to be defended,” including “a more independent national ethos.” Indeed, “he was a rare leader who changed the nation’s direction.”2 Summarizing Whit- lam’s purported achievements, former Australian prime minister and Labor leader Paul Keating concluded that the election of Whitlam’s Labor Party to office in December 1972 released Australia “from the torpor of the Menzies era.”3 It also rescued Australia from its historic dependence on great and pow- erful friends. However, those of a more skeptical disposition found Whitlam’s achievements less impressive. Neil Brown, a columnist at the Spectator Aus- tralia and former Liberal Party deputy leader, thought Whitlam “a charmer, but a loser,” who could not exercise power.4 Australian economist Henry Er- gas argued that “Whitlam displayed a rigidity, compounded by arrogance.
