The federation of the six self-governing colonies of Australia into a federal Commonwealth of Australia was a radical change to system of Government in Australia, but one that reflected the pre-existing realities of Australian society. At the time it was clear that the federal government should be given complete control over defence, customs and currency - the motives for federation - but by that point the colonies were proud of their achievements in the economic and social spheres and would not
Why was the Australian Federation a triumph for Australian Unification? The Australian Federation was a collection of separate British people called colonists who lived in colonies, there were 6 colonies that were like 6 little countries. After federation we were one country called ‘Australia’ and all of the people within the colonies called themselves Australians. The intention of this essay is to argue that Australian federation was a triumph for Australian unification. The unification of defence
My Future in the World Wrestling Federation Before I even entered the double doors, I could hear the power saw inside. My warm breath turned to fog in the cold, January night, and I took the step that would change my life. Entering into a large room, the smell of sawdust almost made me sneeze, and I saw the wrestling ring in the far right corner. I passed the men cutting the 2 x 4s, and making my way towards the ring, was greeted by a stranger. "Are you Jesse?," a 350-pound man asked.
same. The reason this has not happened is due to Federation on the date of 1st of January, 1901. Federation is when the six separate British self-governing colonies of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia formed one nation. Does this suggest that, in spite of common beliefs to the contrary, that Australia would not have been the same? John Lewis (1940- current) did once say, “I don't think the federation has a head; its neck has just grown up and haired
Federation is the joining of states to become one nation. The Australian government first considered federation in 1890 when premier Henry Parkes convinced other premiers to discuss federation in the Australasian Federation Convention. Australia finally federated in 1901 after many failed attempts at doing so. Australia finally federated because This essay will discuss two advantages of Australia federating and two disadvantages of Australia doing so. The advantages that will be outlined and discussed
Written: Federation of Australia is a 1898 poem, written by H.E Russell who publicized, that in her opinion “Federation will immensely increase the dignity of national life in Australia, and practically create a new British power in the Pacific.” The poem deliniates Britain previous imperialism of European countries following a statement “Of fortune waits to sweep us on to fame,” that claims that Britain is formidable. The written source also goes on to say that a new world (Australia)much like the
Australia's federation came about through a process of deliberation, consultation and debate. Before 1901 Australia did not exist as a nation. It was six British colonies, which were self-governed, but under the power of the British Parliament. The colonies were almost like six separate countries. In the 1880s there was so much disorganisation within this system, which caused a belief that a national government was, needed to deal with issues such as trade, defence and immigration saw popular support
Australia was originally a collection of six independent colonies and due to many reasons discussed in this essay, they drew together and became a Federation. Although the States still retain their own identities, it is as Australian's that we are united and identified against the rest of the world. Australia has become a recognized nation with political and military standing. In 1787, a ship of criminals set out from England to establish a colony in Australia. Its main purpose was to relocate

whether Australia would be well governed as a Federation or not remains topical among other issues associated with globalisation. A number of reports indicate that our current federal system is a concern. There are issues in overlaps in policies, roles and responsibilities, vertical fiscal imbalance, an increased reliance on the commonwealth for grants being allocated where states cannot raise enough revenue. In this report I will argue that the Federation in Australia is working, however clarity of
With all the problems faced due to referenda carried out, the Australian Commonwealth subsequently came into being as a federation on 1 January 1901 under the authority of a British Act of Parliament. There has been considerable academic, political and broader public debate as to whether Australia's federal form of government has suited contemporary needs and dynamics and this
What is federation? Federation is multiple states coming together to join as one. For example the federation of Australia is made up of 6 states and 2 territories, New South Wales in 1788, Tasmania in 1825, Western Australia in 1831, South Australia in 1836, Victoria in 1851, Queensland in 1859. But in 1901 was when Australia became a nation. Why is federation so important? I believe Federation is important because if there was no federation each state would have different rules. This brings

Differentiated models of constitutional organization amongst regional governments and centralized national or super-national structures developed from this tension between autonomy and unity, namely the unitary state, the federation, and the confederate models. Each of these systems seeks to accommodate regionalized
identify cheerleading as a sport. The premier collegiate sports organization in the country, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”), does not recognize cheerleading as a sport (“Equal Opportunity”). Also, according to the National Federation of High School Athletic Associations, fewer than half the states in country recognize cheerleading as a sport (“NFHS”). The fact that a respected national athletic organization and a majority of states do not recognize cheerleading as a sport implies
1900, associations had been established in Belgium, Chile, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. In 1904, the national associations founded the Federation Internationle de Futbol Association. Soccer was made an official Olympic sport in 1908. The Canadian Soccer Association was established in 1912, and the United States Soccer Federation was set up in 1913. The first World Cup was played, in 1913, in Montevideo, Uruguay. Since then, the World Cup has been held every four years, except during
A federal government shares the power between the states and central government. Many countries use federalism as their political structure, and the United States is one of those countries. “In a federal system, the participating political communities agree to pursue some objectives together and other objectives on their own…they agree to establish a central government and to empower it to make and administer laws in some areas; and they agree to retain the power…themselves in other areas” (Smith
representation of one's own country. It seems to me that the Olympics have lost some of its touch when it comes to athleticism (cryptoworld.com). In addition, whatever happened to the idea of Amateur Athleticism? There was even a federation called International Amateur Athletics Federation formed, and it was stated that in order to participate in the Olympics, one must not be paid. Now, in modern terms, all they must do is take a break from being paid in their professional season to participate. The motto
The History and Rules of Tennis March, 1913 An international conference is held between 12 nations in Paris, and, from this, the International Lawn Tennis Federation (as it is first known) evolves. March, 1923 The Annual General Meeting in Paris draws up the official ILTF Rules of Tennis which are implemented from 1 January, 1924. The United States joins the ILTF, making the organisation truly international. March, 1923 The Annual General Meeting in Paris draws up the official
formed by pre-existing sovereign states and established a central authority (EU) that remains a junior partner to units (MS). The EU thus being state centric and acting supranational resembles a confederacy. On the other hand the USA mirrors a federation where federal government and states are equal partners but when need arises the central authority is stronger. 2. Limited express powers of the Central authority (foreign affairs/defence) The central authority in a confederation usually has narrower
