AnswerTryhttp://www.anzacday.org.au/history/ww2/homefront/it is an EXCELLENT WEBSITE !!Conscription was introduced in 1939 for all unmarried men aged 21 and over, they had to complete 3 months of military training. Due to the fear of invasion from the japenese in 1942 all men aged 18-35 and all single men aged 35-45 were called up for 6months military service. Conscripts were only allowed to fight in Australia and in the SWPZ (south west pacific zone) which included Australia, new guinia and the Philippines.
whats the actual question?
Conscription was introduced in Australia by the Holt Government due to the National Service Act passed in 1964. This continued until 1971 when Australia pulled out of the Vietnam War.
Conscription was used in World War 1, when men wouldn't join the army the Government used conscription as a way of making men join. They had absolutely no choice.
Australia had conscription in place and active , before the Vietnam war in 1972 ,( or somewhere close to that) in the elections, the labor party defeated the democratic party. this was due to the labor party promising to abolish conscription and allow conscripted soldiers out of the army when labor won this did happen and there has not been conscription since
Australia has never had a problem getting the soldiers it needed for a war. conscription however can be handy if you are looking for canon foder that hasn't had much money spent on it in training.
