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. This propaganda campaign divided the country, leading to two referendums on conscription in 1916 and 1917, both of which were defeated.

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
the Save Our Sons (SOS) campaign was formed by mothers during the Vietnam war to fight against conscription in Australia and fought against children going to war. basically the SOS campaign succeeded as it gained more members as the Vietnam war continued. this was because people could see the evil of war on television as it was only invented just before the war.
