By the time Australia became a Federation the states that made up what was to become Australia were already democratic entity's in their own right. So federation was just another step in these entity's forging a stronger hold over the territory they had conquered.

How did Federation affect Australia's links with England?

Not very much at all -- Australia ( the Commonwealth of Australia ) was still considered to have a ' Colonial status ' . That is the six separate colonies that were in Australia prior to ' Federation ' became the ' States of ' the Commonwealth of Australia and the Commonwealth itself became ' the Colony ' . Section 8 of the Constitution Act ( of which the Australian Constitution is Section 9 ) states that it is the Commonwealth that is to be the ' Colony ' . The lawyers Quick and Garran who helped write the Australian Constitution described Australia's Parliament as a ' Colonial legislature ' The British Parliament could ( if it had wanted to ) pass laws that would override Australian Law . That made the British Parliament still Sovereign over Australia . However it was the policy of the British Parliament not to do so without consulting the Australian Parliament first . It should be noted that at Federation all people living in Australia were and remained long after - British subjects .
