Australia became a country with self-determination at Federation on the 1st of January, 1901.
It could also be said that true democracy first came to Australia as a result of the goldrushes. It is considered to have begun 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.
Australia became a Commonwealth, and democracy in 1901. Previous to this it was organised inot states and colonies.
