Queensland was in favour of federation. It stood to benefit from unrestricted trade across the borders. Previosuly, 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.
There were some concerns about the official introduction of the White Australia policy, as it meant that central and northern Queensland cane growers would lose their cheap "Kanaka" labour, people who had been brought from the Pacific islands to work in the canefields. The cane growers were the only ones who really objected to federation.
