I think you have to talk about the groups such as conscientous objectors, the moratorium movement, supporter's of the war etc.

Rakiraki is right you just need to talk about the people who supported the war and the people who where against it. Refer to groups like the SOS (Save Our Sons) and yes the moratorium marches where important as they showed the "silent majority" finally doing something.

Vietnam was the longest and most divisive military involvement war in Australia's history. The nation joined the war to support the US army. The people from different areas protested against the decision to join the war. The following are the main groups who lead the protest against the war<o>.</o>

Type in 'skwirk vietnam support' into google. Also, i have a whole essay on it so if you wanna ask me something then go ahead :)

The Vietnam war was supported and also opposed by many different groups within Australia – it brought about a great amount of media attention, differing of opinions and new campaigns. Some reasons for support were fear of Communism and the ‘Domino Theory’, Australia’s South-East Asia Treaty Organisation (SEATO) and Australia - New Zealand - United States Security Treaty (ANZUS) alliances, and belief in ‘forward defence’. Reasons for opposition was anti-conscription values, the fact that we had no business in the Vietnamese civil war, and that we were trading troops for a greater American income. Groups such as the trade union and women’s group ‘Save Our Sons’ (SOS) strongly opposed the Vietnam War while the Liberal government and most newspaper groups supported Australia’s involvement in the war.


There's my intro^^
