Irish immigrant Peter Lalor was elected leader of the Eureka Stockade.
Most of the miners were simply Australian. A great number of Chinese also came to the goldfields.
Peter Lalor led the Australian gold miners when they were fighting for justice. Due to the deplorable conditions on the goldfields, and the lack of miners' rights and representation in government, Lalor was unofficially "elected" on 30 November 1854 to be a more militant leader and voice for the diggers. Lalor led the rebellion that later became known as the Eureka Stockade, and the birthplace of Australian democracy.
