Intercolonial Conference resolves to extend the restrictions on Chinese immigration to all non-Europeans; Chinese Restriction Acts in various colonies are extended to all ‘coloured races’. New South Wales passes Coloured Races Restriction and Regulation Act.
Victorian Factories and Shops Act deems that any workplace employing Chinese constitutes a factory and is subject to inspection and that all furniture made by Chinese labour must be so stamped. New South Wales and Queensland introduce similar legislation.
