The article focuses on the policy of the Australian duumvirate government of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and his deputy Lance Barnard on Vietnam War. It states that in December 1972, the newly elected government announced the end of the National Service Scheme and released Australian men, convicted and imprisoned for refusing to register for conscription to the war in Vietnam. It describes the struggle of the Labor government in ending conscription and withdrawing troops serving in Vietnam, and discusses the government policy toward Vietnam such as the manner and timing of the withdrawal of troops and the resolution of a lasting peace in Vietnam.
