Big John Forrest, 1847-1918: A Founding Father of the Commonwealth of AustraliaVeteran Australian historian, biographer, and political commentator Crowley describes how Forrest, after helping draft the Constitution of the Commonwealth, fought hard for fair terms in steering Western Australia into federation. He argues that during the 1890s he transformed the province's communications and developed a code of public ethics that allowed state power to aid private enterprise for the benefit of the community.
