Colonial governments applied tariffs (extra payments for imported goods) when goods were being transferred across borders. These taxes also created unnecessary tension between the colonies. Support would have grown towards Australia becoming a federation in order to remove restrictive trade taxes. People in the late 19th Century would have seen the benefits of creating a single market as strengthening the economy.

The battle between the settlers and Aborigines increased when Macquarie became Governor and believed that the Aborigines should be civilised. This is another way of saying to convert Aboriginal ways into European ways. Macquarie tried very hard to teach new techniques or educating them however these failures made him very mad and desperate. In his perspective the rightful last resort was to put the Aboriginal land and people under his control by saying anyone is permitted to shoot Aborigines if they retaliated or resisted.

Australia in the early 1900s has developed a reputation as a ‘working man’s paradise’ for its greater opportunity to success and an egalitarian society.

The Aborigines of 1788 could not have survived recent bushfires that killed dozens of Australians and destroyed houses, flora and fauna. Uncontrolled fire could wipe out Aboriginal food. People had to prevent it or die. They worked hard to make fire work for them. They burnt off in patches, knowing the sensitivities of different plant species and that timing was crucial. Evidence strongly suggests that no devastating fires occurred.

Imperialism in Australia greatly boosted British economy, the Penal colony housed thousands of convicts for Britain, the convicts were also assigned laborious jobs, such as mining, farming, fishing, raising livestock, and construction. All of these jobs provided a positive impact on the British Empire, when the Australians struck gold in the mid 19th century, convicts were present, along with the free miners, to mine gold, and much of the gold that the convicts mined went to Great Britain. Having such a large labor force boosted the economical success of Australia, Australians found the land easy to mine, the coast had damp soil, there was iron ore, copper and gold, along
