He later settled in the Moreton Bay district (then part of New South Wales) and became actively involved in the movement for separation. In 1859, he was elected as a representative for Ipswich in the New South Wales Parliament.

A lengthy political career followed, culminating in his appointment as Premier of Queensland on three separate occasions.
