• 1975 - Whitlam fired by kerr due to inability to pass the budget

-------

SOME QUESTIONS:

"Why did Australian's attitudes about Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War change?"

• people disagreed with the use of conscription as Australia was under no direct threat

• the widespread use of televisions in Australia meant that, unlike other wars, the Vietnam War was brought directly into Australian homes and people began to understand the horrible conditions and the true nature of the war.

• as the hippie movement began to take hold in Australia, many people - particularly young people who made up approx 30% of Australia's population as a result of the baby boomer period - became very anti-war and anti-establishment
