The May 8 protests, part of the Moratorium to End the Vietnam War movement, saw hundreds of thousands of Australians take to the streets. These demonstrations were some of the largest anti-war protests in the country’s history, and they spanned across Melbourne, Sydney, and other major cities. The protests were inspired by similar movements in the United States, with Australians calling for the withdrawal of Australian troops from Vietnam and an end to conscription.

The Vietnam War divided Australian society, with many questioning the government’s involvement in a conflict so far from home. The May 8 protests highlighted the growing discontent with the war and contributed to shifting public opinion, which would eventually lead to the end of Australia's direct military involvement in 1972.

Join Holly & Matthew as they look into Australia's involvement in Vietnam, our changing views on it - and what the Americans did to change our minds.
