He had just addressed an anti-conscription rally at Mosman Town Hall in Sydney where Peter Kocan, a 19-year-old factory worker, had waited for him, a sawn-off .22 calibre rifle concealed under his coat. The Vietnam Action Committee (VAC) was the first major organisation formed in Australia to oppose the Vietnam War and conscription. Based primarily in Sydney and associated with university campuses, it organised street protests demanding the immediate withdrawal of Australian and U.S. troops, paving the way for later large-scale moratorium movements.A typed newsletter on foolscap paper. The heading is printed in green ink, text in black on faded white paper. The newsletter consists of six double-sided pages.
