Conscription hadn't been successful in WWI anfter 2 refurendums. Soldiers also weren't enlisting for WWII because of how WWI turned out: a lot of people died, and it wasn't the type of heroic war everyone had anticipated. Since there was not a healthy supply of soldiers in the hat, conscription was Australia's only chance. Although it was a highly debated topic, in the end winning the war won against losing it due to a lack of men.
