Australian Federation Bill Passage Sparks WA Support
The measure passed by a two to one majority with 8 noes, largely backed by Sir Josiah Symon who argued it only authorized surveying the line and not immediate construction. Eastern opposition centered on defense value, while Tasmanian critics warned of wasted expenditure for a small state. Symon signaled willingness to back eventual construction and emphasized protecting the Northern Territory route when federal takeover is ratified, aiding West Australia’s Federation stance.
