National Observer Categories Magazine Frequency Quarterly First issue 1988 Country Australia Language English Website www.nationalobserver.net The National Observer (formerly known as Australia and World Affairs) is a quarterly current-affairs and politics magazine in Australia. It specializes in domestic and international politics, security-related challenges and issues of national cohesion.
The National Observer claims to be "not affected by contemporary political correctness or prejudices", thereby allowing it to examine issues from the point of view of the long-term interests of Australians.
Contributors to National Observer have included many eminent commentators from both Australia and overseas, including Tony Abbott, Nick Minchin, Patrick J. Buchanan, Bill Hayden, David Flint, B.A. Santamaria, Mark Steyn, Paul Gottfried, Hugh Morgan, Kenneth Minogue, John Stone, Hal G. P. Colebatch, Max Teichmann, R. J. Stove, Geoffrey Partington, Melvin J. Lasky, Kevin B. MacDonald, and Brian Crozier.
Until 2005 the magazine was edited by Ian Spry; from 2005 until early 2010 Philip Ayres edited it. During Ayres's editorship (in 2009), the magazine ceased to appear in print form and moved to an exclusively web-based format. John Ballantyne is the current editor.
