In 1835, a Tasmanian grazier named John Batman sailed to Port Phillip and claimed to have 'purchased' 600,000 acres of land from the Kulin nation, including the area that would become Melbourne. But the treaty he brokered with the Wurundjeri elders — signed with crosses and marked by the exchange of blankets, knives, and tomahawks — was immediately repudiated by the colonial government in Sydney. Governor Richard Bourke declared the treaty void under the legal doctrine of terra nullius, asserting that Aboriginal people had no claim to land under British law. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine the events of Batman's 1835 expedition, the role of his interpreter William Todd, the perspectives of Wurundjeri leaders like Bebejan and Billibellary, and the legal and ethical controversies that followed. They explore the treaty's text, its aftermath in the founding of Melbourne, and how recent historical scholarship has reframed the Batman Treaty not as a quaint oddity but as a moment that reveals the competing legal and moral claims at the heart of Australian colonisation. #BatmanTreaty #JohnBatman #Wurundjeri #Kulin #PortPhillip #Melbourne #TerraNullius #1835 #WilliamTodd #Bebejan #Billibellary #RichardBourke #LandRights #ColonialHistory #AboriginalHistory #AustralianHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
