What changes did Peter Lalor make in the Eureka Stockade?

Peter Lalor, leader of the Eureka Rebelln, did not actually make any changes in the Eureka stockade. He led the miners to stand up for their rights, but these rights were still not recognised for some time after the rebellion. Due to the deplorable conditions on the goldfields, and the lack of miners' rights and representation in government, Lalor was unofficially "elected" on 30 November 1854 to be a more militant leader and voice for the diggers. Lalor led the rebellion that later became known as the Eureka Stockade. During the battle, 22 diggers and 5 troopers died. Despite its apparent failure, though, the Eureka Stockade gained the attention of the Government. A Commission of Enquiry followed and changes were made. These included abolishing the monthly gold licences, which were replaced by a much more affordable annual miner's licence. There were fewer troopers on the goldfields, and intrusive spot-checks ceased. 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. For these reasons, the Eureka Stockade is regarded by many as the birthplace of Australian Democracy.


Who fired first in the battle at eureka stockade?

The Eureka Stockade lasted for many days, but on the Saturday night before the battle, the Government had sent alcohol to the miners and by morning they all had hangovers or were still drunk. Because it was a Sunday and nothing had happened over the past few days, the miners expected nothing. But, at the crack of dawn the troopers (Government Police) attacked the unready miners. The battle lasted 20 minutes. The troopers were the first to fire.

When three people are talking is it rude for two of them to start walking away when the conversation is still going?

If it is a normal conversion than yes of course and even more rude, if the person who's still talking is...well, still talking. However, if the third party is being a jerk and rude, then it makes sense to walk away to avoid further, if any, conflicts.
