The Federation of Australia in 1901 had a limited and often negative impact on the rights of Aborigines. While it established a national government, it did not recognize Indigenous Australians as citizens, effectively excluding them from the rights and benefits afforded to other Australians. The new Constitution specifically allowed for discriminatory laws against Aboriginal people, leading to further marginalization and loss of rights. This period marked a continuation of policies that oppressed Indigenous communities rather than advancing their rights or status.

Federation in Australia in 1901 had significant implications for Indigenous people and Chinese immigrants. For Indigenous Australians, it resulted in a marginalization of their rights and recognition, as the new Constitution excluded them from citizenship and their rights were largely ignored. For Chinese immigrants, Federation solidified policies like the White Australia Policy, which aimed to limit non-European immigration and fostered discrimination, effectively restricting the rights and opportunities for Chinese communities in Australia. Overall, both groups faced increased marginalization and exclusion in the newly federated nation.
