Soon after Federation, the family unit is buffeted by world conflicts, poverty and disease, but then new attitudes sweep in.

Sport and the arts are imported from Britain and are already embedded in society at Federation in 1901.

But the public do rise up against capital punishment and it is abolished national wide.
