Abstract:
Mr William Russ Pugh, well known for his anaesthetic activities, and probably the first in Australia to administer ether anaesthesia for a surgical operation in May 1847, was involved in several court cases in Launceston, Tasmania in 1842 and 1843. At that time Tasmania was known as Van Diemen's Land. Two of the most dramatic cases ensued after a young doctor, Dr Burton George Haygarth, a recent arrival in the colony of Van Diemen's Land, was persuaded to accuse Pugh of manslaughter. Because of Pugh's standing in Launceston the cases attracted enormous public attention and support for Pugh. The outcome for Dr Haygarth was very unpleasant and not something which he had anticipated.

Abstract:
This thesis is a study of assigned male convict labour in rural Van Diemen’s Land in the period 1820-40. Throughout this period agriculture and pastoralism were centxal to the colonial economy, and this sector was the largest private employer of convict labour, yet there has been no prior sustained investigation of the nature and experience of rural convict employment in Van Diemen’s Land. Research has involved use of records of convict transportation, the records of the convict department, colonial court records, and the correspondence of the colonial secretary’s office. Extensive use has also been made of the colonial press, published contemporary accounts, and unpublished journals of colonists. The thesis begins with a discussion of two oppositional representations of rural convict labour: John Glover’s painting ‘My Harvest Home’, and the ballad ‘Van Diemen’s Land’. These representations demonstrate the polarised debate on the nature of convict labour. Rural convicts have been largely neglected in the recent historiography of convict transportation; this thesis argues that this neglect is unwarranted, and that rural convict labour resists reductionist understanding of convict labour. Chapter 1 examines farming in the colony, demonstrating the importance and vitality of this sector of the economy. Chapters 2-4 discuss convict assignment, management, and convict responses. It is argued that assignment effectively placed those with experience of farm work with rural employers. Convicts’ skills are seen to have been relevant and useful to the rural economy. The management of convict servants operated both formally at the level of the Convict Department regulations and the magistrates bench, and informally on individual properties. Informal management best utilised incentives rather than force. Thus convicts were able to negotiate the authority of their employers through various means, including resistance. Chapters 5-7 discuss the convict experience of rural labour. Material conditions of diet, housing and clothing are examined in chapter 5. Convict recreational culture is investigated in chapter 6; it is argued that convicts created an important site of autonomy in this form. The intimate lives of convict men are discussed in chapter 7. Often seen as brutal and brutalising, it is argued that these relationships were important and meaningful sites in male convict experience.

Abstract:
Fear of Aboriginal aggression was a reality for the early settlers of New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land, but it only gained imaginative currency through the trope of white victimhood. This discursive emotional frame continues today, providing a means for many contemporary settler Australians to reconcile with a colonial legacy defined by frontier violence and dispossession. In engaging this dialectic between the past and the present, this thesis seeks to understand how fear and white victimhood gained such purchase upon the Australian settler imaginary. In their response to and coverage of frontier violence, colonial newspapers and administrators did much to validate the unsettled feelings of settlers and their servants as they consolidated the dispossession of Indigenous people. Despite the language of “amity and kindness” which guided the settlement of Australia, early governors were quick to deploy “terror” as a means of arresting Aboriginal resistance to European occupation. This provided settlers an immediate means through which they could channel their emotions and expectations of frontier policy as the eighteenth century gave way to the nineteenth. Terrorising Aboriginal people was framed as the most efficient means of consoling their anxieties over the tenuous nature of their lives and properties in this unfamiliar land. A direct relationship thus came to exist between the acknowledgment of settlers as victims and the “eliminationist logic” of settler colonialism. This thesis provides a critical commentary on the collective emotional experience of Europeans during the colonial era. It analyses the ways in which newspapers like the Sydney Gazette developed a narrative that juxtaposed the “unfeeling” disposition of Aboriginal people with the passive victimhood of settlers, facilitating the circulation of fear across geographical, although administratively porous, boundaries. It also explores how colonial elites cloaked their responsibility in this formation of settler subjectivity in the hope of maintaining a belief in their own humanity towards Indigenous people. Through a discourse of sympathy and compassion men like George Augustus Robinson increasingly sought to challenge the destructive impulses of settler colonialism, emphasising the depravity of convicts and frontiersmen. As this challenge became the central platform of humanitarian governance throughout the 1830s, however, it was less a vehicle for the representation of Indigenous rights as it was a means for colonial elites to retrieve their own sense of Britishness predicated upon the paradox of humane colonisation.

Abstract:
This research focuses on the development of the jurisprudence of the infant colony of Van Diemen’s Land now known as Tasmania, with particular interest on the law of defamation. During the first thirty years of this British penal colony its population was subject to changes. There were the soldiery, who provided the basis of government headed by a Lieutenant Governor, the indigenous people, the convicts, and gradually an influx of settlers who came enthused by governmental promises of grants of land. In addition to these free settlers there were a selection of convicts who, under a process of something akin to manumission under Roman Law, became upon completion of their sentence, eligible for freedom and possibly a grant of land. There developed a spirit of competition amongst the settlers, each wanted to become more successful than the others. The favourite means of distinguishing oneself was the uttering or publication of damaging words against a person who was perceived to be a rival. Various defamation actions between 1805 and 1835 are discussed, providing a fascinating insight into the emergence of a Rule of Law, however imperfect, in the development of the colonial society of Van Diemen’s Land.

Abstract:
Eastern Van Diemen’s Land was the site of the most intense frontier conflict in Australia. What is known today as the Black War (1824-1831) produced at least 450 colonial casualties and all but wiped out the Aborigines. This thesis examines the attitudes and experiences of the men, women and children –black and white – who were involved. It asks: How did each side perceive the other? What motivated them to violence? What tactics did they employ? How did each side cope with being hunted? And what was the emotional cost? These questions are long overdue. Historians have almost invariably examined the War from the ‘top down’, poring over ethical and legal questions. These are important concerns for posterity, but they were not those of Aborigines or frontier colonists. Their beliefs, desires, behaviours and emotions constituted the human side of the Black War, and they have been all but ignored. The alternating white/black chapters of this thesis juxtapose the perspectives of colonists and Aborigines. Close attention has been paid to the minutiae of frontier life, which were a chief determinant of behaviour and experience. Drawing on a range of methods, the cultures, voices and actions of participants have been sifted from Tasmania’s vast archive. To verify and contextualise this anecdotal evidence, a catalogue of all recorded violent incidents and their details has been appended. The Black War was a guerrilla war consisting of hundreds of ambushes on Aborigines’ camps by night, and on colonists’ huts by day. Exceptions to this day/night pattern were rare, which meant the War was fought and experienced according to a solar rhythm. A key source of white violence was sex deprivation. European women being extremely scarce, so frontiersmen sought black females any way they could. Later, revenge and self-defence also motivated them to kill. Aborigines attacked whites to resist invasion, avenge mounting insults, and to plunder food and blankets. Both lived in suffocating fear, terrified of their enigmatic foes. Likewise, both saw themselves victims, and both felt justified in victimising the other. It was not a battle between good and evil, but a struggle between desperate human beings. This thesis challenges a range of long-standing assumptions about the War, while also providing new evidence and perspectives. Its attitudinal and experiential analysis illuminates the War in a new light, while its quantitative analysis indicates a larger-scale conflict than previously imagined, with distinct and telling patterns of violence. Moreover, a systematic examination of frontier conflict at the ground level and from both is all but untried in Australian history.

Higgins, KM. "Treaty making in Van Diemen's Land." Thesis, 2005. https://eprints.utas.edu.au/20632/1/whole_HigginsKatrinaMichelle2006_thesis.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the Aboriginal crisis in Van Diemen's Land with a view to establishing what effective efforts were made in the late 1820s and early 1830s towards realising a treaty between the colonial administration and the Aboriginal tribes of Van Diemens Land. The idea is not a new one. In 1995 Professor Henry Reynolds' published Fate of a Free People in which he argues that for a number of prominent Aboriginal leaders, at least, a de facto peace treaty was negotiated with the Colonial Government. Reynolds focuses primarily on roles played by the Aborigines in bringing their people in and their interpretation of how the crisis was concluded. This thesis does not challenge Reynolds' claims. Instead, it attempts to evaluate the Aboriginal-settler clash from the perspective of the Colonial Government, and Lieutenant-Governor Sir George Arthur in particular. Specifically it seeks to determine to what extent Arthur participated in a treaty-making process, even if he did not ultimately conclude a treaty with the Aborigines of Van Diemen's Land. This thesis examines British policies towards the Aborigines of Van Diemen's Land from the time of its official settlement in 1804 through to the effecting of the Treaty of Waitangi in January 1840. While it focuses in greatest detail on relations between the colonial government and the Aborigines of Van Diemen's Land in the 1820s and early 1830s, the study of colonial relations is broadened both chronologically (to 1840) and geographically-north to mainland Australia, and east to New Zealand-to include brief accounts of the negotiations of the Batman treaty and the Treaty of Waitangi, so as to provide a wider context by which to evaluate Governor George Arthur's efforts with treaty-making in the Van Diemen's Land.

Abstract:
The Van Diemen's Land Company was formed in 1825 to produce wool in Van Diemen's Land for the British market. The company explored land in the North West of the island for the purpose of locating a grant and established settlements at Circular Head, Woolnorth, Emu Bay, Hampshire and Surrey Hills. Convicts were assigned as servants to the company and about four hundred and twenty people spent periods ranging from several weeks to nearly a decade as part of the labour force. This thesis provides information about this labour force: their numbers, their disposition, their occupations and their achievements. It investigates what they ate, how they were accommodated and the hours that they worked. The convicts were subject to being physically flogged, discipline normal at the time, but which we now find abhorrent and the record of punishments is examined in detail. Much of the history that has been written about the company relies heavily on company sources. In this thesis particular value has been placed on contemporary independent reports. The company agent during the period 1825-1842 was Edward Curr and he had a dominant influence on all aspects of company activities and achievements, and therefore on the life and fate of servants assigned to the company. Particular attention is given to the nature and extent of Curr's character on the life and fate of convicts with the company.

Abstract:
AbstractThe overall goal of nature-positive production is to reconcile the need for the production system to meet the demands resulting from growing populations and rising prosperity with the necessity of restoring the environment, improving the quality of soil, conserving biodiversity, and sustainably managing land, water and other natural resources. The strategy is to protect, manage and restore ecosystems: to “produce more from less” and set aside some land and water for nature. In this context, action at the landscape scale is key, extending beyond individual production fields to the watershed, the entire river basin, and the coastal area influenced by the change of land use and river discharges (IPCC Summary for Policymakers. In: Climate Change and Land: an IPCC special report on climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems [PR Shukla, J Skea, E Calvo Buendia, V Masson-Delmotte, H-O Pörtner, DC Roberts, P Zhai, R Slade, S Connors, R van Diemen, M Ferrat, E Haughey, S Luz, S Neogi, M Pathak, J Petzold, J Portugal Pereira, P Vyas, E Huntley, K Kissick, M Belkacemi, J Malley (eds)], 2019). Nature-positive landscape-level interventions include system-based conservation agriculture, agroforestry, river basin management, bio-inputs, integrated soil fertility management, soil and water conservation and nutrient recycling. In particular, maintaining trees in landscapes, avoiding deforestation and promoting landscape restoration are critically important for preventing soil erosion, regulating water resources, and protecting environmental services essential for sustaining production at multiple scales, from the regional to the global. Such nature-positive approaches are best based on bottom-up and territorial processes, strengthened by scientific innovations and enabling policy environments. Translating science into transformative action also requires system-level governance and policy interventions that enable and provide incentives for farmers and land managers to adopt nature-positive practices. Greater public and private sector investment in research and innovation is needed if we are to develop solutions and adequately scale the adoption of nature-positive production systems. Furthermore, a realignment towards nature-positive food systems requires awareness and empowerment on the part of producers and consumers. These concepts must be introduced to farmers through robust extension programs, with special attention paid to woman farmers. They must be taught in schools and broadcast to consumers. Ultimately, the aim should be to foster a five-way dialogue among academic institutions, farmer and citizen groups, industry and policymakers to translate scientific knowledge into viable action.
