"Conscription is an impediment to achieving the forces……" — Gough Whitlam

"Conscription is an impediment to achieving the forces Australia needs. It is an alibi for failing to give proper conditions to regular soldiers. We will abolish conscription forthwith. By abolishing it, Australia will achieve a better army, a better-paid army - and a better, united society."

Gough Whitlam
