ANTI-TRANSPORTATION MOVEMENT
+Source.+--Port Phillip Gazette, 21st January 1851
The uselessness of protests against Transportation from the various
states, proved the necessity for the whole of Australia to act
together in external affairs. Thus the inauguration of the
Anti-Transportation League was the first step towards Federation.
BREAKFAST TO THE TASMANIAN DELEGATES
On Monday, the members and promotors of the Launceston Association for
securing the cessation of transportation, entertained at Public
breakfast the gentlemen delegated to represent the interests of the
Colony at the Australian Conference, which is about to be held in
Melbourne. A cold collation was prepared at the Cornwall, and about 100
gentlemen sat down, amongst whom were many magistrates and gentlemen
representing the most influential and respectable portions of the
northern and midland districts.
