Has certainly been somewhat different to that of New Zealand, for it has, to a certain extent, recognised the importance of the goldfields as one of the solutions of the unemployed difficulty. It is interesting to learn from recent reports that during the last three years over 18,000 men have been sent to the goldfields by the Government of that Colony, many of whom have met with success, others have opened up quite new mining fields, and all have in a greater or lesser degree found means of subsistence. Queensland, South Australia and Victoria have also done likewise.
