Union in Australia Proposes Colony Unification Plan
Sir George At, premier and colonial secretary of New South Wales, backs a scheme by Victoria’s premier to unite the colonies of Victoria and New South Wales first, then South Australia and Queensland. A single vice regal authority and two chamber parliament would govern, with common tariffs, duties, land law, postal and telegraph systems, and a London high commission. The united colonies would be called the United Colonies and later Australia, if all colonies join. The plan follows a Canadian precedent and envisions eventual full federation.
