But this has been debated many times‚ due to the fact that many Australian people were against war in itself and didn’t believe they should fight in a war that wasn’t even theirs. The onset of war had many negative effects on Australia and therefore it wasn’t as united as it should have been. The conscription debate also didn’t help unite the country.

Although many men did enlist for war‚ there were many who strongly objected. In the beginning of the First World War‚ there were so many enlistments that the recruitment officers were forced to reject people. Nonetheless‚ as the war went on‚ casualty rates increased and the number of men volunteering to enlist declined. This quote by Prime Minister Billy Hughes expresses the emotion of majority of Australian people at the time. “The conscription issue is the greatest issue ever put before a free

EUTHANASIA SPEECH Euthanasia. Assisted Suicide. Against the law in the UK. Fair? I say no. Euthanasia is when an individual is assisted to commit suicide‚ this is because the individual is in pain due to a terminal illness.
