What were the positives of the Eureka Stockade?
In the battle of the Eureka Stockade, 22 diggers and 5 troopers died, so initially there did not seem to be anything good that came out of it. Despite its apparent failure, though, the Eureka Stockade gained the attention of the Government. A Commission of Enquiry followed and changes were made. These included abolishing the monthly gold licences, which were replaced by a much more affordable annual miner's licence. There were fewer troopers on the goldfields, and intrusive spot-checks ceased.
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. This meant that the men of the goldfields now had a voice, and representation in government. Later,, such representation expanded to other areas. For these reasons, the Eureka Stockade is regarded by many as the birthplace of Australian Democracy.
