Does National Service mean that it was compulsory for all males to be in the military for a certain amount of time?

Yes it was for 2 years and then 1 month of camps every year for the next 10 years. I did my 2 years and attended 2 camps before everyone ignored the call ups. I didn't mind at the time as I got to see the country.
I'm guessing there must not be any consequences for ignoring callups.
