Første folkeafstemning om indførelse af almindelig værnepligt i Australien. 52 procent af vælgerne, bl.a. organiseret i Australian Labor Party Anti-Conscription Campaign Committee, stemmer nej.
Plakat: "vote no mum, they'll take Dad next" vote no.
Litteratur: That dirty little traitor Billy Hughes
Is trying to introduce
That damned conscription for boys and for men
And, of course, for him we have no use.
Extract from No use for Billy, to be sung to the tune of The Little Grey Home in the West.
