About this listen

You may not have heard of 'The Proclamation of Governor Bourke' but it may be the most important act in Australia’s modern history. On October 10 1835 Governor Bourke declared that Australia was terra nullius, a land belonging to no one, and set in motion the largest dispossession of land on the world’s largest island. What would become a land of convicts made its First Nations people, in that moment, stateless. It created a chain reaction that would see bloody, race driven frontier massacres, a generation of children stolen from their parents, considered by the law as animals, with histories destroyed and futures broken.
