The stoush over conscription is also why Australia has Preferential Voting. After the Labor Party split, they introduced preferential voting for the 1919 election so that the Nationalist and Liberal conservative parties wouldn't split the vote and lead to a Labor landslide as would have happened under First Past The Post.

Fair play to Warwick, QLD’s “eggy Irishwomen and men”forebears A young barmaid, questioned by QLD’s police before they announced “no charges” would be brought, was asked if she “knew anything about the egg throwing?” She replied “Of course, including the hen that laid the eggs…” but she’d “…not be telling anyone on account of her profession”; customers need to know you’ve their confidence. The QLD copper laughed at her response but did not pursue her legally.

Never cease to amaze Jordan. Such a good video of Australian history that comically and also tragically ties together at the end. Truly doing good work though mate
Did you know that German New Guinea was seized by Australia early in WW1. Did you know that at the end of that war US President Woodrow Wilson was determined to gift former German New Guinea to Japan (along with the Caroline and Marshall Islands , which they got). Wilson was keen to gain favour with the Japanese and considered New Guinea should go to them for contributing to the allies in WW1. Only Billy Hughes stood against the US president with utter determination. Hughes got his way and New Guinea became an Australian mandate territory. Had he not insisted, Japan would have started WW2 from Rabaul and Lae. It would be fair estimation that Japan would have severed links between the USA and Australia in 1941/42 and isolated Australia within six months. Had Hughes not seen this threat far in advance this video might be in Japanese. While Hughes was definitely not perfect due to the actions mentioned here in forming the Federal Police, lets not cherry pick history to bolster current opinions. In balance he was a passionately loyal leader who overstepped these individual freedoms, pushing conscription for the bigger picture he and others then saw. He did go on to support former soldiers as civilians despite them mostly voting against conscription prior. He was shrewd and quickly saw through Keith Murdoch when he attempted to topple General Monash (because Monash was Jewish). In WW2 he gave advice and support for Menzies and Curtin during WW2. When he died in 1952 his funeral drew 450,000 mourners. Not telling his backstory and heaping Hughes in the same class as the modern mongrels to gain narrative is a bit shot sighted on what this video could have been.
