Western Australia voted for Federation on July 31, 1900. Division among the inhabitants was due to a recent wave of immigrants from Eastern Australia. The original residents, known as sandgropers, allied more with Britain, while the new arrivals considered Eastern Australia to be their home.

This meant that the town was disadvantaged by the steep tariffs imposed on the transportation of goods across the border to Queensland, where the closer trade centre of Brisbane was located.His promotion of Federation was based on the fact that it would enable free trade across the borders. Parkes made a significant contribution to the Federation movement in Australia.
