On 15 June 1901, during the first parliament of the Commonwealth, the "Immigration Restriction Bill 1901" was introduced, defined as "A Bill for an Act to place certain restrictions on Immigration and to provide for the removal from the Commonwealth of Prohibited Immigrants".
The wording of the bill also listed in its definitions that restrictions "means any person who is unable to write out 50 words in a European language dictated by an officer".
Paterson spoke in favour of the bill, and in particular of the 'Chinese problem'.
The bill was subsequently passed, and set in motion what is popularly known as the White Australia policy, which survived until late in the 20th century.
Alexander Paterson did not contest the subsequent election, and retired from politics.
