The ANZACS, or the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, were not present in Darwin during the bombings that occurred on February 19, 1942. The bombings were carried out by the Japanese air force targeting the city of Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory. The ANZACS primarily fought in World War I and were not involved in the defense of Darwin during World War II.
The new film (which is probably NOT A REMAKE) due to be released in November 2008, titled "AUSTRALIA" may supply those answers. The movie (film) is about the DARWIN BOMBING during WW2.
Australia was under attack from all corners, bombings in the north, naval attacks on western ports, and submarines were sinking ships in eastern harbours. While none of this was enough to destroy Australia it did have a tremendously negative impact on the moral of Australians. The prevailing thought at this time was Australia was about to be invaded. In order to lessen damage to our moral, the Australian government provided incorrect casualty figures to make people think it wasn't as bad as they thought it was. For example, the bombings of Darwin killed over 250+ people but the government announced only 17 people had been killed.

After the Japanese air force launched an air raid in Darwin, the Australian government was awaken from its blind loyalty to England. The Australian government realized that they can not just concern about England's security and they must concern about Australian's security as well. The Australian also realized that they must not keep up their stupid policy, which's called the white Australian or Another England in Pacific, with their neighbour countries because they don't have enough people to protect their country. Therefore they need the immigrants to help them to protect the country. The Australian government worry that the second Japanese invasion will occur.
