Answer
The Whitlam government ended military conscription and involvement in the Vietnam War in 1972, with the last conscripts being called up in February 1973. The government's decision to end conscription was made in the context of the growing unpopularity of the Vietnam War in Australia, and the increasing number of Australians who were refusing to serve in the military.
