Which Australian colony was the last to achieve self-government prior to federation?
Western Australia was the last colony to achieve self-government prior to Federation. This was because the British Government was against establishing a parliament in Western Australia, as growth rates were slower there, being more isolated, and it was also the last colony to still be receiving convicts.
Western Australia was finally granted self-government in 1889, some thirty years after all the other colonies.

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 .
