Summary
The Australian Labour Federation was formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 1889. The Federation was an attempt to federate Australian unions into one body. It did not attract widespread support outside Queensland and its operations in that state were dissolved in 1914 when its main supporter, the Amalgamated Workers' Union merged with the Australian Workers' Union.
