Australian & NZ Defender #96
 
Australian & NZ Defender Magazine first hit the shelves in October 1993, the second title to be published by Fullbore Magazines Pty Ltd which began publishing in mid 1990.
 
Aussie Defender, as it is known in the services, is dedicated to the Australian Digger, Airman and Sailor and is actively written for and from the perspective of the bloke in the front line - both currently serving troops and veterans of past conflicts.
 
During the last three decades, A&NZD has enjoyed unparalleled access to the troops in the field both on operations and in training exercises. A key requirement of all of our contributors is prior military service and a willingness to work under the same conditions as the Diggers in the field.
A&NZD is apolitical, has no affiliations with any organisations and receives no grants or government funding of any type. Our independence is total, giving us the freedom to tell it like it is.
 
Since its first appearance, Australian & NZ Defender has consistently outsold all of its competitors achieving total market dominance in its first year on the shelves and maintaining that for the past three decades.
