If we didn't have federation in australia what would it look like?

How many peoplewere involedin federation?
A federation is the joining of the states to become one nation. This happened in the early 1800s in Australia when the colonies decided that it would be easier to become one nation. There is no way to know the exact number of people who were involved in the federation at that time.

What changes in society made Federation necessary?
The federation of Australia in 1901 was significant because of the changes it led to in both positive and negative ways to Australia. Many things were happening before federation that influenced whether federation would occur or not and many things changed over the years after the federation of Australia. Boarder taxes were part of the Australian life before federation, they meant that people wanting to sell or trade goods had to pay a tax if they wanted to go from one state to another, this was set up so the people in the state didn't have to compete with different states cheaper prices, making them pay taxes to sell in that state meaning that people would be more likely to buy local goods because they would be cheaper and more affordable. After federation a free trade agreement was formed meaning it didn't cost money to trade or sell goods in another state. Before federation all of Australia was divided into colonies, every colony defended and looked after themselves making laws and regulations for only their people. The colonial governments distrusted each other and were not in favour of federation until it became apparent to them that it was essential for the future welfare of Australia. Once Australia was federated the colonies were combined and were led by the parliament system we have today. Prior to federation the natives of New Guinea the kanakas were kidnapped and taken to Australia by the Queensland colonies to work in the Queensland sugar cane fields, the kanakas were used for slave labour so Australian shop and factory owners didn't have to pay for workers. The kanakas worked in horrible and dangerous condition until federation. After federation occurred the kanakas were no longer taken from New Guinea. Defence was one of the major reasons for the federation of Australia, Separate colonies restricted Australia's defence prior to federation and as warfare was becoming more common to Australia people became aware that our defence needed to be strengthened, federation would make Australia's defence stronger because the separate colonies would work together to protect Australia. Unity was one of the reasons that people chose to federate to occur in Australia. The colonial governments became more united and a sense of nationalism spread through Australia. This sense of nationalism was why many people chose to make Australia united as a federated country. A desire for a white Australia drove many people to federate Australia. Before Australia was federated there were many people from countries in Australia such as Asians and the kanakas these people from other countries were cheap labour for Australian employers so it was then hard for Australian workers to get jobs because people were only employing cheap labour rather than having to pay more for an Australian worker. The Australian people wanted to federate Australia so these people that they can get jobs to support their families. Communication drove many people to want Australia federated. Communication within Australia was quite limited before federation because it was hard for people to travel around Australia with all of the different colonies laws and rules that people would have to follow, and it was frustrating and timely to use telegraphs. After federation communications were improved because it was easier for people to travel around Australia this is for mi essay tthats due 2morrow lolz
What can you tell about Australia's government just by it's map?
You can tell that australia is a federation, by the fact there are states within australia. A map would also probably indicate that the seat of government is in canberra, by virtue that canberra would show as the nations capital.

Was federation necessary for the colonies of Australia?
Federation in Australia was never certain to happen. Some states wanted to have free trade and others wanted protection for their local manufacturers and producers. Federation meant that all the states could trade freely with each other. Also it was felt that the smaller states would not be able to protect themselves. From time to time there were scares like that the Russians would invade Australia if there was a war between Russia and Great Britain. The main centres of manufacture/production were in Melbourne and Sydney as well as most of the people with money to invest in new endeavors. While all the mainland colonies and Tasmania federated and became Australia, the colonies across the Tasman decided they would form their own country and became New Zealand.
