In 1944, with many Australians still fighting in WW2, the ACP created a plan for them divided into two parts. The first, introducing more democracy into the services and improving service conditions. the second, our programme for the service men and women in the post-war period.

In 1944 the federal government sought powers to ensure a more just post-war political landscape. Most service men and women had gone to war with an understanding that they wouldn’t return to pre-war conditions of poverty and lack of democratic rights. In this booklet the Party explains its support for the relevant referendum and its further plan for a socialist Australia.

“The Soldiers’ Guardian”, was produced by the ACP’s Soldiers Committee which was a success. This pamphlet educated military personnel on current issues returning soldiers faced, such as their entitlements, conditions of care while on the battlefront and post war reconstruction.
