Sir Edmund Barton was not a member of the Protectionist Party; he was actually a founding member and leader of the Free Trade Party in Australia. He served as the first Prime Minister of Australia from 1901 to 1903 and advocated for free trade policies during his political career. His role was pivotal in the establishment of the Commonwealth, but he did not align with protectionist ideals.

Did Edmund Kennedy's tribe succeed in their exploration?

Edmund Kennedy was not an Aborigine, so he did not have a tribe. Kennedy was part of an exploration party in 1848, the objective of which was to chart the countryside from Rockingham Bay to Cape York. It could not be said that his party succeeded: they were constantly beaten back by impossible terrain, and their progress was very slow. Kennedy himself was killed by hostile Aborigines in the north, and only his faithful and loyal aboriginal companion Jacky Jacky survived to tell the story of what had happened.
