Federation plan and early Commonwealth powers outlined
The article outlines a proposed Commonwealth with six Senators and about twice as many Representatives, proportional to population, minimum five per state. Federal control would start with customs and excise, then post, telegraph, defences, lighthouses, and quarantine, with supremacy over existing state laws. A uniform tariff and free intercolonial trade would follow within two years, plus possible railways and state debt transfer with surplus revenue. A High Court and Privy Council appeal are planned, shaping federation through elected representatives and strong central authority.
