For 25 years, from 1983 to 2008, "Defender" was widely acknowledged as the primary journal of record for informed, topical, and apolitical public debate on Australian strategic security, defence, and wider national security issues.
Each 48-page (or more) issue of the printed journal included topical articles, informed commentary, authoritative book reviews and review essays, and spirited exchanges in letters to the editor, from a wide range of Australian and foreign contributors.
The journal also included Major Furphy, a column featuring tongue-in-cheek observations on life in the Department of Defence at Russell Hill.
