Time enters July

The social response caused by the McCart's murder of students has become increasingly strong. Attacks against white people have occurred in many places, especially in Queensland and northern New South Wales, and in Sydney.

The unity of immigrants after the incident showed strong influence and cohesion, which shocked the white society and had to seriously consider immigration demands and re-examine this neglected group.

NEW Governor John Lawrence Barde, Earl of New South Wales, made a public statement on the McCalter case;

Immigration groups are called on to remain calm, strongly condemn the atrocities against students, and hope to extradite them back to the UK for trial as soon as possible and receive severe legal sanctions.

Senior officials from various southern states also expressed their opinions, some supported the convening of special courts on-site trials, some supported the extradition to the UK for trials, and radical opinions even demanded to be hanged on-site. There were many different opinions, and there were many different opinions.

The McCart case became a hot spot in Australian society in July. Major newspapers and magazines in Europe and the United States reprinted reports, with a wide influence and European and American regions, which forced London to engage in caution.

Germany and the Kingdom of the Netherlands are happy about this and firmly stand on the side of Australian immigration groups. Local newspapers and public opinion have turned over many old accounts and have made great efforts to denounce the evil deeds committed by the British in various colonies. They are very excited to beat the dogs in the water.

These small actions are nothing more than to cause trouble to the British Empire.

Early August

Shocking news came out of the Queensland Parliament, and policies are brewing to significantly lower the threshold for immigration, commonly known as the "resistance policy".

That is, immigrants of any race can obtain a naturalization license at a lower cost as long as they arrive in Australia and are willing to swear allegiance to Queensland and serve the society.

This proposal under the preparation of the Zhigong Democratic League has caused great uneasiness in the southern states, and they have expressed their opinions through various channels, especially opposition as the mainstream.

This is because the China Democratic League occupies an absolute dominant position in the Queensland Parliament. Once the bill enters the voting process, the probability of passing is 99%.

Southern states generally believe that the proposal issued by the China Democratic League is too radical. With the continuous development of the immigration wave, the current population of Chinese immigrants in Australia has exceeded all ethnic groups and has become the largest ethnic group in Australia. Among them, about half of the naturalized people, that is, more than one million people.

If the affiliation policy is implemented, the number of Chinese naturalized people will double in a short period of time, which will inevitably have a huge impact on the existing political structure of each state.

More than 90% of Chinese immigrants are young and strong men, most of whom meet the voter's standards for paying taxes exceeding £10. It's terrifying to think about it carefully!

At the current stage

Australia implements an election policy that is the same as the UK, that is, adult men who pay taxes up to £10 in previous years and have legal naturalization certificates to participate in the election.

The election history in Britain can be traced back to the 13th century, and each municipality and town select two freelance representatives to attend the level meeting.

After the "Glorious Revolution" in 1688, Britain established a capitalist electoral system.

The following year, in 1689, the Bill of Rights was passed by the Lower House of Parliament, which clearly stipulated that members of Congress (the Lower House) would enforce free elections.

In the 49 years from 1832 to 1881, Britain carried out multiple reforms to the electoral system, gradually moving closer to the universal suffrage system, and establishing a relatively complete electoral system.

The election reform in 1832 re-arranged the layout of seats for members of the lower house of London and stipulated the voter registration system. The nomination system for members of parliament was changed to an electoral system. The reform expanded the right of citizenship and gave the middle class the right to vote.

The reform of the British electoral system in 1867 further reduced the property qualifications of voters and expanded the citizenship rights to ordinary male citizens in the municipality.

The election reform in 1872 was promulgated with the famous secret voting law, with the aim of eliminating high pressure and bribery in elections...

With the pace of history, the British electoral system is gradually improving, developing towards a more fair and democratic direction, more citizens' participation, and more transparent and fair direction. The ultimate goal is to realize the universal suffrage system.

Australia's electoral policy follows the UK. The latest policies from the British Empire can always be quickly promoted in Australia. The continuous improvement of the electoral system also reflects this process.

Australia's current electoral system is still far from the universal suffrage system of one person and one vote, and needs to be gradually improved in the future.

Women have no right to vote, adult men without legitimate occupations have no right to vote, fixed assets do not exceed £60, and no right to vote, and no right to pay taxes does not exceed £10.

The existing Australian population structure

The ratio of white men and women is about 7:3, which means that among the nearly 2 million people, there are less than one million adult men with suffrage, about 900,000. The current economic downturn in southern Australia is in a state of recession, and many white farmers have gone bankrupt, and even fewer have legal voting rights.

Immigration is different, the ratio of male to female is about 9.5:0.5, which is very different.

Almost all millions of naturalized people are men, and generally have fixed assets and tax payment qualifications that meet the standards. The only headache is that they have no wives.

Although nearly 10,000 native white women from Central America alleviated this urgent need, the serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women remains sharp.

There are also few women among the free immigrants from the mainland. Most of them are men who come to make a fortune with their dream of making money, especially young and middle-aged people, which makes the contradiction between the imbalance of the male-female ratio even more prominent.

From another perspective;

More than 90% of naturalized people with legal right to vote are firm supporters of the Zhigong Democratic Party, laying a solid foundation for the Zhigong Democratic Party.

This has prompted the ChiDPR to rise rapidly to Queensland's largest party with absolute advantages, the third largest party in South Wales, the fourth largest party in Victoria, the largest party in Western Australia, and the second largest party in South Australia, but it has not penetrated into Tasmania.

If Queensland's arbitration policy is implemented, Australia will change overnight.

This is by no means a false threat, but a real threat.

Songjiang Town

Songjiang Reservoir Construction Site

"Hahaha... they were all panicked." Li Fushou laughed happily.

He stood high on the mountain with his waist on his back, inspecting the construction site with a group of senior officials and nobles in the Red River Valley. The topic talked about the "Barriage Act" implemented by the Queensland Parliament. He couldn't help but feel full of energy.

"Mr. Yuan Ding's move is good to ask for directions. This turbulent water in Australia's political arena will be alarmed, right?" Wu Mozhou said with a smile, stroking his beard.

Pan Shoudao followed his voice and said, "It is true that New South Wales Governor Ben Stevens met me many times, and his words showed extreme concerns about Queensland's current radical policies. He hoped that through me, he could convey this information to Lord Yuanding, and it could be seen that they were really scared."

Wu Mozhou said, "Ben Stevens is a traditional white hardliner with close contacts with former Governor Morgan McLaury. The two families are in a marriage relationship. His opinions can represent the views of a large number of white conservatives."

"Now it's 3-to-3, we won't suffer any losses in the general situation." Xin Changjun is a member of Li Fushou who is quite dependent on him and is good at looking at problems from a global perspective.

In the upcoming election of the governor and parliamentary elections in Queensland in 1882, Xin Changjun was the candidate for the Speaker of the Zhigong Party. He will definitely take over Li Fushou's position as Speaker and continue to consolidate the basic foundation of Queensland.

The governor of Queensland has been running for five years, and it has been four years since 1877. The new election will begin at the end of the year.

By then, Li Fushou will personally run for governor.

This is a campaign without any suspense. Incumbent Governor Frank is bound to lose the campaign and will not find a matched opponent in Queensland. This will be the first time in Australian history that Chinese have held such an important position.

Breaking through the glass ceiling again and again, Li Fushou, as the first gold mine owner of the Chinese Australian, the first state legislator, the first noble and the first speaker, is about to become the first governor in next year's election. He has created countless firsts and made great contributions to the entire immigrant community's struggle for equal rights.

The three to three mentioned by Xin Changjun refers to Queensland controlled by the Zhigong Party, Western Australia and South Australia, which have the advantage, and are completely in the hands of Lord Earl.

Pas, the capital of Western Australia, is just a small town with a population of less than 3,000. It is a very low-development area. More than 13,000 immigrants have been poured into the past two years, and it has completely become a territory where the Child Democratic Party and the Hongmen have dominated the dominant advantages.

The situation in South Australia is similar. Three years ago, the population of the whole state did not exceed 30,000, but now it is close to 80,000. Most of them are the immigrant population that has influx in recent years.

The Red River Valley sent two young and promising teams to easily penetrate the region and have substantial influence with a broad mass base.

What is difficult to conquer now are New South Wales and Victoria, two rich areas where traditional white forces dominate.

Li Fushou stood on a high place and turned around and asked, "Brother Changjun, what do you think of the current situation?"

"Since Lord Yuanding asked, Changjun threw away the bricks and led the jade to try to solve them." Xin Changjun happily obeyed.

He thought for a moment and said;

"From the current situation in Australian politics, it is not appropriate to implement the policy of resistance. Yuan Ding followed the shepherd boy's incident and shouted that the wolf was coming, which caused panic from London to Sydney.

There are three wonderful things about this move;

This has disturbed the water, and at the same time, many white hardliners have emerged. In the future, we can target and implement policies accurately, and we will achieve half the result with twice the effort!

Second, it diverted the attention of public opinion and helped to continue to block the news of Shangri-La in the north. It is said that the governor of the Dutch East Indies has also recently attracted attention from Australian news.

The three added bargaining chips to bargain with London. To prevent the implementation of the barrier policy, the other party must take out heart-warming chips.

I think it is humble;

The most important thing at present is to develop the economy and enhance the foundation and strength of the Red River Valley, and two main lines are extended here.

One main line is to encourage immigration policies. Immigration has brought continuous economic vitality to the Red River Valley, population and labor, and at the same time it has expanded the market, deepened the foundation of the Red River Valley, and further transformed the population structure and developed towards a favorable side.

In August just passed, the number of immigrants who arrived in Australia that month reached 53,000, of which more than 5,700 were in the Eagle Plan. Free immigration accounted for the vast majority, including many expensive businessmen and literary and artistic people who pursued freedom. This is a new feature under the immigration policy.

Compared with the United States, the United States received 1.57 million immigrants from Europe in 1880, and the source was from all countries in Europe, which is incomparable to Australia.

In 1880, Australia received 395,500 immigrants, of which about 34,700 white gold diggers were from the British Isles and Germany and France, and the vast majority of the remaining came from mainland China.

It is estimated that by 1881, the annual immigration scale will reach between 570,000 and 580,000, of which Chinese immigrants are the mainstream.

Time is very beneficial to us, and there is no need to stimulate London too much. As long as we can obtain London's support on the Shangri-La issue, it is completely worth a step back.

The second main line is to develop the economy, which is the most important task at present. Now, the good situation of three wings flying together in Honghe Valley, Songjiang Town and Beilun Town has been formed, and the future is bright.

We now need to pay special attention to the promotion of leading projects, including Songjiang Reservoir, the South Extension of the Coastal Railway, and the Sydney Bay Shipbuilding Base.

Especially the coastal railway south extension project, in the southern states, we have to suspend or cancel the policy of advancing the affiliation policy, so we can bargain and promote the South extension project to finally arrive in Melbourne.

The above are some simple opinions of humble positions. Please correct me by Lord Yuanding and your colleagues."

After Xin Changjun's high argument, Li Fushou took the lead in applause, which attracted everyone's applause.

"Brother Changjun has unique insights and is worthy of making a comeback." Li Fushou gave a high praise.

Pan Shoudao suddenly commented: "Sudden death or chronic suicide, you can only choose the same two ways."

His words caused everyone to burst into laughter. Sima Zhao's intentions were well known, and there was nothing to hide.

Who hasn't pursued it yet!

Li Fushou is now rich enough to rival a country. He has a ranch with an area of ​​220,000 square kilometers. He took the lead in occupying Shangri-La Island with an area of ​​880,000 square kilometers. He is an absolute feudal lord.

Another step is OK.

"In addition, they actually have a third choice." Li Fushou curled his smile and looked into the distance and said, "Since the beginning of the year, Governor John Lawrence Valde has been actively promoting the union of states. This matter has been ruined by my union of other states. There is no lack of intentions from London.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages

Now that we have proposed the policy of affiliation, the immigrant groups have shown strength and solidarity in the march, it may have sounded the alarm for the white diehards and began to seek the third solution.”

Li Fushou did not continue to say anything, and the word "split" appeared in everyone's mind, which meant internal war.

Will Li Fushou be satisfied with controlling the existing area?
Chapter completed!
