If Trump called for a Vietnam-scale deployment, how long would it take Australia to bring in the draft and train new conscripts to readiness?

I don’t think there’s really any appetite for that.
In the case of vietnam there was at least a perceived threat in the way of the spread of communism through our “back yard”. Australian soldiers, at least when they shipped out, believed they were protecting their loved ones.
short of a dirty bomb on Australian soil, I just can’t see how anyone would support a draft.
