Following the Eureka Stockade, there was a Commission of Enquiry. Changes to the conditions on the goldfields were made. These included the removal of monthly gold licences, replaced by a much more affordable annual miner's licence. The numbers of troopers were reduced considerably, and 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. Because of this, the Eureka Stockade is regarded by many as the birthplace of Australian Democracy.
