The Gold Fields Commission was appointed directly after the Eureka Stockade to investigate the incident. Although the Eureka rebellion itself failed in its objective to gain fairer conditions for the miners, it gained the attention of the Government. As a result of the Gold Fields Commission, changes were implemented. These included abolition of monthly gold licences, replaced by an affordable annual miner's licence. The numbers of troopers were reduced significantly, and Legislative Council was expanded to allow representation to the major goldfields. Peter Lalor and another representative, John Basson Humffray, were elected for Ballarat. Later, Lalor was elected Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria.
