How was propaganda used in australia during the conscription campaign of ww1?

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.

What does conscription mean in ww1?

Conscription in Australia during WW1 meant that there was a policy of ordering all able-bodied young men to do compulsory military service during the war. It's main proponent was the then Australian Prime Minister, William Morris 'Billy' Hughes, who wanted to introduce conscription for war service overseas. However, this was violently opposed by other members of his governing Labor Party, as well as by a large section of the general public and by church leaders. The conscription issue became a massive area of controversy in First World War Australia, frequently leading to riots and ferocious arguments in Parliament. Hughes failed to win enough Parliamentary support for his Conscription Bill and ended up being expelled from the Labor Party because of it, but managed to get re-elected for a second term in 1919 after founding his own Nation Australia Party.
