30 shillings a month whether they found gold or not.

End of the 1800s.
Presuming that this question refers to the goldmining rebellion known as the Eureka Stockade, the leader was Peter Lalor. He was an Irish immigrant who initially worked on the construction of the Melbourne - Geelong railway line, but soon joined the gold rush and began mining in the Ovens Valley, and then in Ballarat. Lalor was elected to be the miners' leader and representative on 30 November 1854.
true
stuff...
yes
it was called gold license or miners right
Each miner had 1 license.
because not anyone can go and mine, it wouldn't be safe. And they are changing the landscape so they need a license. The rest is just the government wanting money.
A miner's lisence where. In Australia they were 1 pound a month or 8 pounds a year
the license fee as it was too high and unfair towards the miners of Australia. they all meet at bakers hill raised the southern cross flag and burnt their license under the flag. after that there was a new government and miners got the right to vote for there democracy. KEVIN BLOODY WILSON IS A LEGEND xD
a miner's licence only lasts one pound and its very expensive but a miner's right only lasts 4 years and its way cheaper than a miner's licence
Be more specific: Do you mean miners like workers who work in mines? Or minors meaning folks underage? And what type license...a driver's license? In what state (if you are even asking about the United States... I think, but do not know for sure, that in the US a minor caught driving without a license will probably be fined, maybe asked (made to do) some community service, and may be delayed in being issured a driver license when otherwise they could have been eligible for one. That all assumes there were no complicating charges such as reckless driving or having an auto accident.
No, they are copper miners.
Many miners tried to avoid paying the licence fees, because they were exorbitant, unreasonable and often beyond the means of hard-working diggers. The most obvious way this rebellion was expressed was in the Eureka Stockade, a battle between miners and the troopers. See the related question.
Eureka Stockade had arisen from high rising prices for mining equipment, the expense of a Miner's License, and taxation without representation on the license. The miners demands for right to vote and purchase land, as well as a decrease in license costs, was not granted, instead was met with [what was perceived as] injustice from the government. The event hit critical mass after a group of miners attacked a marching troop of reinforcements on 28 November 1854, in which many were injured and a drummer boy was said to have been killed.
