Intro

1. What is sovereignty and when did Governor Phillip claim Sovereignty of Australia? Sovereignty is a substantive term designating supreme authority over some polity. He claimed ownership of the land through the legal concept of Terra Nullius. 
2. What does Terra Nullius mean? Land that is legally deemed to be unoccupied or uninhabited.
3. Was the meaning true for Australia? Give an example to support your answers. Governor Arthur Phillip claimed sovereignty and ownership of the land through the legal concept of terra nullius over the area that Captain James Cook had named New South Wales. 

First Encounters

How did the first fleet of Colonists treat the indigenous people? The people of the First Fleet did not understand the ways of the local Indigenous peoples they encountered however, and their diaries and journals record the lack of respect that many members of the First Fleet had for local Indigenous people.

What did the British espouse the indigenous people to? The British Admiralty gave 'Secret Instructions' to Lieutenant James Cook on each of his three voyages to the South Pacific between 1768 and 1779. 

Pemulway

Who is Pemulway and what did he do in defiance to Governor Philip? Governor Phillip’s tolerance of the local inhabitants did not last long. The warrior Pemulwuy of the Bidjigal nation, located in today’s western Sydney, speared a frontier man in 1790 as punishment for killing Bidjigal people. This behavior would have been punished in pre-contact tribal society. Phillip retaliated by ordering his staff to kill ten ‘natives’ and capture two in order to stop further reprisals.
