Bab 114: Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen: Senate Meeting (Subscribe!)

On April 23, 1902, after a ten-day-long election period, the first Council Group's specific list of members was finally freshly released.

This Council Group had a total of one hundred seats, and all adult New Zealanders could participate in the election.

Although the response in New Zealand was not strong, it still attracted hundreds of New Zealanders to participate.

However, these individual candidates clearly did not have the advantage of party candidates; most of the seats were occupied by parties, leaving less than ten for individual candidates.

On the party side, the Alliance Party had a significant advantage. Perhaps it was because Arthur's Relief Committee had brought about many benefits, making the Alliance Party more popular in New Zealand and many people having a positive impression of Australia.
