Best Answer

Australia was still a Dominion of the United Kingdom during WW1. The Australian Federal and State Governments had limited self governance under British law. The United Kingdom declared war upon Germany and its allies, this declaration of war included all the United Kingdom Dominions of the British Empire. Australia achieved independent sovereign nationhood status following WW1 in 1919. Having said that, however, Australia was led by its own Prime Minister in World War 1. As an example, Australia was caught up in a heated debate about conscription, as PM Billy Hughes sought to introduce conscription, following a trip to England. A referendum was held, and defeated, and Hughes' support of compulsory military service led to his expulsion from the Labor Party. Australia was not obliged to follow England's wish in this regard.
