jan 1, 1937 - Conscription Vote 2

Description:

The 1917 plebiscite was held a year after the highly contentious 1916 conscription plebiscite. The 1916 plebiscite had resulted in a surprise "no" vote, with voters in Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. In the end, 1,181,747 Australians voted "No" and 1,015,159 Australians voted "Yes". So, again the vote for conscription was defeated.
