Reasons for federation included: Trade: There were steep tariffs imposed on the transport of goods across the borders of the states. Federation would remove these tariffs and allow for free trade between the states.]]> 2018-03-14 07:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/241725941 garv_aggarwal https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/241726737 Federation. Australia became an independent nation on 1 January 1901 when the British Parliament passed legislation allowing the six Australian colonies to govern in their own right as part of the Commonwealth of Australia.

It was a collection of six British colonies which were partly self-governing, but under the law-making power of the British Parliament. The colonies were almost like six separate countries; for example, each had its own government and laws, its own defence force, issued its own stamps and collected tariffs (taxes) on goods that crossed its borders. The colonies had even built railways using different gauges, which complicated the transport of goods across the continent.]]> 2018-03-14 07:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/241729642 garv_aggarwal https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/243040922 a National Australasian Convention was held in Sydney. Each colony sent seven representatives.  From these, a committee was chosen to begin work to write an Australian constitution.  A constitution is a set of basic rules and principles of how an organisation, or club or nation is governed.   A draft constitution was drawn up by  Edmund Barton (New South Wales), Andrew Inglis Clark (Tasmania), Samuel Griffith (Queensland), and Charles Kingston (South Australia). To help them, they looked at the constitutions of Great Britain, the United States, Canada and Switzerland.]]> 2018-03-17 06:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/243040922 garv_aggarwal https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/243041009 there was a conference of pro-federation groups after hard times had drawn people's attention away from federation for a few years. The conference agreed that a national meeting would redraft the constitution and that all Australians should have a chance to agree with the constitution by vote.]]> 2018-03-17 06:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/243041009 garv_aggarwal https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/249394955 2018-04-07 04:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/249394955 garv_aggarwal https://padlet.com/garv_aggarwal/kd8w4ke3l3zq/wish/250098518 On 1 January 1901, the Australian colonies united to become a nation. This is known as federation and resulted in the creation of a federal Parliament, with the colonies becoming Australia's six states.
