Why was Melbourne Australia's first capital?

Melbourne was never the capital city of Australia. Considerable rivalry existed between Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's two largest cities. For this reason, it was decided that the national capital could not be either city. However, Melbourne was the temporary seat of power in Australia - a fine line of difference. From 1901 to 1927, the Australian Parliament met in Parliament House, Melbourne, which it borrowed from the parliament of the state of Victoria, which in turn sat in the Exhibition Building. This had to occur whilst the city of Canberra and Parliament House was being built.

If federation didn't occur?

If federation didn't occur, Australia would likely remain a collection of separate colonies, each with its own government and laws, leading to significant regional disparities and potential conflicts over resources and trade. The lack of a unified national identity might hinder economic growth and infrastructure development, as cooperation between colonies would be more challenging. Additionally, issues like defense and foreign policy could become complicated, making the continent more vulnerable to external threats. Overall, the absence of federation would have significantly altered Australia's political, social, and economic landscape.


Who was the Australian prime minister in 1800s?

This is a trick question - there were no prime minsters of Australia in the 1800's. indeed Australia did not have a prime minsiter, as federation did not occur till 1901. therefore, the first prime minister came to power in 1901 - that being Sir Edmund barton.

How many federal holidays in January?

There are two federal holidays in the United States in January: New Year's Day and Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday (often erroneously referred to as Martin Luther King Day). However, this does not mean that the two holidays are observed (as time off for federal workers) in January. (Read below concerning when New Year's Day is observed in December.)King's Birthday is observed on the third Monday in January, thus it can occur anywhere from January15th (the actual anniversary of his 1929 birthdate) to January 21st.The New Year's Day holiday occurs on January 1st itself unless that date occurs on a weekend, in which case the holiday is observed on the nearer weekday (i.e. Saturday, January 1 is observed on Friday, December 31 and Sunday, January 1 is observed on Monday, January 2).It should be noted that, since not all federal employees work Monday-Friday, for some workers holidays can be observed on the actual days of the week on which they occur.
