Propaganda was used in Australia during World War I to sway public opinion towards conscription. It involved exaggerating the threat to Australia, questioning the loyalty of those who opposed conscription, and portraying conscription as necessary for the survival of the nation. This propaganda campaign divided the country, leading to two referendums on conscription in 1916 and 1917, both of which were defeated.

Australians did not support conscription in WW1 all the troops Australia sent were volunteers.
The conscription issue primarily took place in various countries during times of war, most notably during World War I and World War II. In the United States, the Selective Service Act was enacted to draft soldiers for military service. Other countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia, also implemented conscription during these conflicts. The debate over conscription often sparked significant political and social controversy, reflecting differing views on individual rights and national duty.
During World War II, many countries implemented conscription to bolster their military forces. Notable nations that enforced conscription included the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, the Soviet Union, and Japan. Each country had its own policies and timelines for conscription, often reflecting the urgent need for troops as the war progressed. Overall, conscription played a crucial role in mobilizing millions of soldiers for the conflict.
There were two major conscription referendums in Australia during World War I. The first took place in October 1916, and the second in December 1917. Both referendums aimed to gauge public support for introducing compulsory military service, but both were defeated.
Canada was a British Territory and all British Territories were subject to conscription into their own army.
During the conscription campaign of World War I, propaganda in Australia was used to sway public opinion in favor of enlisting and supporting the war effort. The government utilized posters, pamphlets, and speeches to promote the idea that conscription was a patriotic duty and essential for national security. These efforts created a polarized society, leading to intense debates and divisions among Australians, ultimately resulting in two failed referendums on the issue. The campaign's impact was profound, fostering a sense of national identity while simultaneously deepening societal rifts.
