Leaders of six Australian colonies meet on confederation

Colonial premiers met in early 1899 to agree on amendments to the constitution to satisfy New South Wales.

Following the dissolution of the Federal Convention in 1898, the colonial premiers convened in early 1899. They agreed to a number of amendments to make the constitution more acceptable to New South Wales. This agreement was necessary before the revised constitution could be put to a vote in the colonies.
