It was partly due to opposition to conscripts fighting overseas which the ALP had opposed since the Vietnam War. The union movement which was influential in the ALP had started to oppose the war influenced my militant, left-wing unions such as the SUA.
Initially, the position was unpopular as seen in the 1966 election results but by 1969 sentiment in Australia had turned against the war and the war was a factor in Labors electoral success in 1972.
