Who made Australia a democracy?
Australia nearly always was headed for a democratic system as it was the offshoot of the British political system. It was not so much a case of who but when Australia would be fully democratic with self determination. Whilst the above is correct, true democracy first came to Australia with the miners' uprising known as the Eureka Stockade. The battle of the Eureka Stockade failed in its immediate objective to gain more rights for miners, but it gained the attention of the Government. A Commission of Enquiry was conducted and changes were implemented. One of the changes was that the Legislative Council was expanded to allow representation to the major goldfields, with Peter Lalor, a key figure in the Eureka uprising, being elected for Ballarat, along with another representative, John Basson Humffray. Later, Lalor was elected Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria. For these reasons, the Eureka Stockade is regarded by many as the birthplace of Australian Democracy.

What was the ureka stocade?
*Eureka The Eureka stockade was fought over the miners rights during the Victorian Gold Rush in Australia. The miners were upset at how they were being treated by the few and often corrupt 'officials' who were present at the mines to represent the law. The Violence between not just the miners themselves but the 'law officials' was one of the contributing factors to the stockade, as well as the heavy taxes on the miners who were struggling to make ends meet when there was little gold to be found was also a key factor to the stockade. As a historian you could say that the miners were unhappy at having no vote for who would represent them, but at the same time being taxed, giving us the saying 'No Taxation without representation,' coming from the stockade. These contributing factors as well as the discontent felt overall by the miners and the poor lifestyle of living on the mines all led to the Eureka Stockade. The Stockade itself lasted for little more than 15 minutes, with the protesting miners piling behind a tin hut, many lives were lost and the Eureka stockade was seen as a failure by many. Although it did end up with the miners getting a vote and the problem of corruption being looked at and dealt with in some sense. The Stockade was organised by Peter Lalor, a miner from the Victorian Goldfields.
