The goldfields residents weren't from WA, they were skilled workers from the Eastern colonies and other parts of the Empire.

The health minister, Brad Hazzard, also urged businesses to maintain strict record keeping of customers’ details and said NSW’s “diamond standard” contact tracers were encountering false names and phone numbers in contact lists from some venues.
“Now what we are finding is that some of the visitors to various venues still think that it’s funny to be putting in there that you’re Donald Duck, or Mickey Mouse, or a false phone number. That must stop,” he said.
“This is a worldwide Covid pandemic and thinking it’s smart to call yourself Donald Duck, or Mickey Mouse is about as stupid as it gets. So that must cease.”
The chief health officer, Kerry Chant, said that while all of the new cases were linked to the northern beaches cluster, community transmission had occurred outside the area

Someone with it was in the MLC Building's food court (off Martin Place) for an hour on the 15th - so that's conservatively a couple of hundred people who need to get tested and isolate.

There was a partition taken to London by Walter Griffiths on behalf of the Goldfield reform league but the Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain refused to except it , but the vote for federation was approx 44000 in favor and about 20000 against . So London had nothing to do with it .

Most of Australia was immigrants in those days anyway .

The Macquarie Law Journal begs to differ:


The Western Australian delegates who attended the constitutional conventions of 1891 and 1897-98 were drawn for the most part from the traditional elements of Western Australian society.[12] Their approach to the notion of federation reflected the isolationist sentiments of their constituency. But these were not the sentiments of the goldrush settlers. When it became apparent that Western Australia might not join the proposed federation, the settlers formed the Eastern Goldfields Reform League. The Reform League began to agitate vigorously for the secession of the goldfields region from Western Australia and its integration into the Australian Federation.[13] At this point the British Colonial Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, intervened to pressure Western Australia into joining the Federation. On 27 April 1900, Chamberlain sent the acting Governor of Western Australia a telegram alluding to the secessionist movement in the goldfields and advising the Governor that in these circumstances it would be in the best interests of the colony to join the Federation.[14] The loss of the goldfields would have been disastrous to Western Australia, both from an economic and a political viewpoint. Therefore, a Bill was hastily introduced into the Parliament of Western Australia providing for a referendum on the draft constitution.[15]

Not yet... But... I'm closely related to a person who often oversees our airport arrivals.... which is a concern as I'm plum in the middle of the Highest Risk Mob, everything is 'agin me !

For insurance, Despite the Vaccine - Saviours having a "94%+" success rate at...... alleviating the symptoms, not preventing you from getting infected/ ill, as Traditonal vaccines worked. When that person gets exposed or suspected of - I'll be using this preventative protocol,

Where cost or convenience is not an issue, HCQ is the preferred option over quercetin. For example, Have heard that Canada has severely restricted the prescribing of HCQ, even for malaria & RA.

just a thought, if you dont want to see the relatives on xmas day, go get a covid test: "sorry, have to isolate while waiting for results"
