[3] In 1902, Protectionist Party leader Alfred Deakin said in a letter to The Morning Post, a London newspaper, that "Ministerial forces were best under control" in southern Queensland through the NLU.

[5] The NLU remained active for a number of years, although they were largely replaced by the Anti-Socialist Party at the 1906 federal election.
