In Manchester 11,000 men offered their services to fight in the war, of these 8,000 were deemed physically unfit to carry a rifle and stand the fatigues of discipline. Of the remaining 3,000 only 1,200 met the chest measurement and muscular power required by the military. Therefore in Manchester two out of three men who were volunteering to fight were null and void.

How did the Boer war cause Australians to question British control over Australia?

If it did, it wasn't significant. The Australians lost roughly 1,000 men in the Boer War. If anything the Australians resented the British during WWI (the Great War) especially after Gallipoli...and which Australia lost 60 times as many men in WWI than they did in the Boer War. As an added note, in both of the those wars Australian servicemen were volunteers; unfortunately, the bulk of the Australian fighting men in Vietnam were drafted.
