                  2. White Australia
                    1. All colonies were keen to strengthen their immigration policies by uniting
                    2. Defense
                      1. Colonies had separate defence forces. A united defence had sounded appealing to all.
                      2. Economy/trade/resources
                        1. All colonies could combine their resources
