The first student opposition was cautious in its approach. It was mainly made up of open letters to newspapers, putting the conflict in its historical and political perspective and predicting a long and drawn out affair. The letters encouraged the government to engage in negotiations with the Viet Cong and North Vietnam. It was really only after the start of conscription the next year that students began to come out in force against the War.

 Moratoriums to protest against Australian involvement in Vietnam War - Universities 

# data[].attributes.body
The Vietnam moratorium protests, the first of which took place on 8 May 1970, were the largest public demonstrations in Australia’s history at the time.

They represented growing discontent within a portion of the Australian population to the government’s commitment to the Vietnam War in general and conscription in particular.

The protests took place during a period of great social change in Australia, when people from a range of backgrounds were prepared to defy authority.

Who were they?
Was established in 1965 in Sydney. Most of the group was comprised of women  mostly middle-class and middle-aged, whose sons were old enough to be subject to national service, (sent to The Vietnam War).

How and Why did they protest?
The Save Our Sons movement had representation right around the country, and in 1971, as anti-war sentiment grew within Australia, five SOS members were sent to jail after they were found guilty of willful trespass for handing out leaflets to young conscripts on their way to Vietnam. Known as the Fairlea Five after the Melbourne women's prison they were sent to, these women's imprisonment became a cause celebre, and possibly increased the number of those Australians opposed to both conscription and the war.
This is more of how they influenced the people.

In 1965 the Menzies government announced that Australia would deploy 800 combat troops to Vietnam. From this announcement, the ALP, led by Arthur Calwell from 1960 to 1967, opposed the government’s decision to involve Australian combat troops in the Vietnam War, and had been opposed to conscription since its introduction in 1964.

A second moratorium was held in September 1970, and a third in June 1971. In the lead up to the 1972 federal election, a promise to end conscription was part of the Labor campaign.

many trade unions called government support of America's involvement in Vietnam "blood for dollars" or "Diggers for dollars".
Trade unionist believed the Australian government was sacrificing the lives of Australian troops to ensure that america would boost the economy by spending more money in Australia. The Australian  Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) said no action would be taken. Some of the more militant unions took independent action to protest the announcement and held work stoppages which the ACTU did not support.

"Some members of SOS were subject to abuse and insult. Called communists at a time when the term was replete with implications that the accused was somehow anti-Australian, some women were also sworn at and called ‘bad mothers’ and neglectful wives."
