Orphaned references in Women's suffrage in Australia

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Women's suffrage in Australia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "NSW":

• From Suffrage in Australia: "About us". NSW Parliament. Retrieved 17 July 2010.
• From New South Wales Legislative Council: "1856 to 1889 - Responsible Government and Colonial Development". Parliament of New South Wales. Retrieved 9 September 2014.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:58, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

When first voted (Federal)?

The article (as it is now) implies [but doesn’t state] that women in SA and WA, voted in the (Federal) Australian elections in 1901.

(And presumably in the “whether to federate” elections).

True?

History and racial restrictions

Hello all

I have clarified the racial restrictions on female suffrage and have corrected some information. I have made the article more consistent with the article Suffrage in Australia. I have removed the section on Norfolk Island because the island was not an Australian colony or part of the Commonwealth of Australia at the relevant time.
