 | | Speeches on Australian federation: by the Premiers of Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia, Mr Deakin and Lord Brassey. |
 | | The South Australian Premier, Charles Cameron Kingston, opposed the holding of a further Federal Convention to accommodate Queensland, arguing that the Premiers already had a 'difficult, delicate, and dangerous task before them' to obtain approval for the draft constitution. |
 | | Kingston (1850-1908) had been a member of the House of Assembly since 1881 and head of government from 1893, during which time many reforms and much progressive legislation were introduced. |
