Answer 2

The Eureka rebellion primarily affected the miners.

The Eureka rebellion was dispute which occurred on the goldfields of Victoria, Australia, in 1854. The dispute was between the miners, or diggers as they were called, protesting the high price of their licence fee, and the troopers, or police, who enforced the licence fees and carried out spot checks to ensure diggers had current licences, which cost exorbitant fees.

Miners had tried to stand up for their rights, but previous delegations of diggers had met with resistance from the Victorian government. The events of the Eureka Stockade were an attempt by the diggers attempt to gain the notice of the government. The actual battle played out as a confrontation between the miners and the troopers near Ballarat in the early hours of 3 December 1854. 22 diggers and 5 troopers died in the fray.

Ultimately, though, the Eureka Stockade gained the attention of the Government. A Commission of Enquiry followed and changes were made. Changes included abolition of monthly gold-mining licences, replaced by a much more affordable yearly 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. For these reasons, the Eureka Stockade is regarded by many as the birthplace of Australian Democracy.
