Encouraged by the support of William Sorell, the former Lieutenant- Governor, and Edward Curr, who had recently returned from the colony, they formed the Van Diemen’s Land Company and applied to Lord Bathurst for a grant of 500,000 acres. Bathurst agreed to a grant of 250,000 acres. The Van Diemen’s Land Company received a royal charter in 1825 giving it the right to cultivate land, build roads and bridges, lend money to colonists, execute public works, and build and buy houses, wharves and other buildings. Curr was appointed the chief agent of the Company in Van Diemen’s Land.

  • New Zealand and Australasian Federation, 1883-1901: ANOTHER VIEW*
    New Zealand and Australasian Federation, 1883-1901: ANOTHER VIEW* IN A BECENT article Professor F. L. W. Wood has endorsed and expanded the view that Seddon played a significant role in New Zea- land's failure to federate with Australia between 1899 and 1901.1 Other writers might challenge this view.2 By claiming that New Zealand never came close to federating and had adequate reasons for standing aloof, they have, at least implicitly, down-graded the significance of the part played by Seddon in keeping New Zealand out of an Australasian federal union. It is the intention of this paper to show that the major factors determining New Zealand's response to the federation question were established not under Seddon after 1898, but rather in the period 1883-91, before Seddon's premiership, and that Seddon, far from being a major factor in this response, found his actions largely circumscribed. Although New Zealand stayed out of the Commonwealth, it was, argues Wood, in the balance to the end whether the more marginal Australian colonies would also remain uncommitted.3 The social, economic, geographic, and sentimental factors that prevented New Zealand from federating equally affected these marginal colonies who had as much to lose (or gain) from joining as New Zealand. Wood also maintains that the arguments adduced by New Zealanders against federation (when they were not nonsense) were identical to * This is a revised version of a research paper submitted in 1968 as part of an honours degree in History.

  • The First 100 Years of Tariffs in Australia: the Colonies
    1 The First 100 Years of Tariffs in Australia: the Colonies by P. J. Lloyd University of Melbourne Address for Correspondence: Department of Economics, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Vic. 31010, Australia Phone: 61 3 83445291 Fax: 61 3 83446899 Email: [email protected] 2 The First 100 Years of Tariffs in Australia: the Colonies Abstract This paper reviews the history of tariffs imposed by the six Australian colonies during the 19th century. First, in each of the colonies, it identifies the starting points for the first tariffs, first preferences, and other features and the turning points in the levels of tariffs. It then constructs time series of the average tariff levels in the individual colonies and an average for All Six Colonies Combined. The conclusion notes general features of the pattern of tariffs and how the main features of colonial tariffs carried over to the Commonwealth Customs Tariff in the 20th century. Keywords: colonies, average tariff rates, tariff revenue, protection JEL Code: N1, F13 Acknowledgements. I would like to thank --- Short running title: The First 100 Years of Tariffs in the Australian Colonies 3 1. Introduction The first tariffs on Australian territory were introduced in the colony of New South Wales by Governor King in 1800. Thus there is exactly 100 years of tariff history in Australia before the creation of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. This paper reviews the first 100 years of tariffs in Australia. In turn, this 100-year period divides neatly into two sub-periods of roughly equal length; the period of Imperial control of tariff-fixing, 1800 to 1855, and the period of colonial control after the passage of the Australian Colonies Government Act by the Imperial Parliament in 1850 enabled responsible government in the colonies, starting with New South Wales and Victoria in 1855.
