Source C: Extract from Henry Parkes’ Speech at Tenterfield, 24 October 1889

General Edwards had also advised that the forces of the various colonies should be federated for
operation in unison in the event of war so as to act as one great federal army. If an attack were
made upon any of the colonies, it might be necessary for us to bring all our power to bear on one
spot of the coast.

The great question which they had to consider was, whether the time had not now arisen for the
creation on this Australian continent of an Australian Government…to preserve the security and
integrity of these colonies that the whole of their forces should be amalgamated into one great
federal army…They had now, from South Australia to Queensland, a stretch of about 2,000 miles
of railway, and if the four colonies could only combine to adopt a uniform gauge, it would be an
immense advantage to the movement of troops.

Surely, what the Americans have done by war, the Australians could bring about in peace. It is
essential to preserve the security of these colonies that there should be one great federal army…
We must appoint a convention of leading men from all the colonies who would…devise the
constitution (for) a federal government with a federal parliament.

3. According to Source C, what reasons are given for Federation? Why might these be considered ‘suitable’
reasons at the time? (5 marks, 200 – 300 words)
