Politically speaking "Australia" was not a Dominion or anything else in
the
19th century. Australia didn't become a nation, and part of the British
Empire, until 1901. Before that there were just the colonies New South
Wales, Victoria, Queensland etc. with varying degrees of autonomy and
various different representative bodies.
