The Vietnam War had great political impact and led to great separations within Australian society. Because Australia has such a big landmass, and having a small population, it has always felt like there was threat by foreign powers. Vietnam was no different. With the Cold War happening along side, there was a big fear of the spread of Communism. This led people to believe that Australia could never properly defend itself and had to look for support from other superpowers like the United States and Great Britain, who Robert Menzies called our 'Great and Powerful Friends'. Australia had always relied on Britain for support, like in the previous wars, but they failed to take in recognition that there was a threat.

The Vietnamese soliders and the American soliders also beleived they were affected by the chemicals used.

Many people disagreed with what was happening over in Vietnam and how Australia handled it. Anger arose from many people with different opinions and in the end there was not a nice welcoming for the troops that came back.
