The Origins of Australia’s 18-Year Land Cycle - Meet the Man Who Rigged the Aussie Land Market...

How it All Started....

To really want to understand why we have a land cycle in Australia - and how the widening gap between those who own land and those who don’t is intrenched into the system - we have to go back.

Not just to the last boom or the mining rushes, but right back to the beginning of Australia’s colonisation.

Truth is the system we live with today was not born by accident.

 It was an engineered plan - a deliberate structure imposed on the early settlers during colonisation, designed to shape who would work, who would own, and who would profit.

British colonisation in Australia began in 1788 with the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson, establishing the penal colony of New South Wales.

It was never about opportunity, however, at least not for the people being sent there.

Australia was chosen as a dumping ground for Britain’s overflowing prisons after America shut its doors to convict transportation.

For decades, the colony expanded haphazardly.

Land was handed out in great swathes to military officers, colonial administrators, and free settlers, while the real labour was done by convicts - men and women serving time through back-breaking work on farms, roads, and homesteads.

There was no coherent plan for colonisation. No economic structure beyond survival and exporting convicts.

Squatters seized unclaimed land and carved out pastoral empires.

Corruption, favouritism, and cronyism reigned. And as the free settler population began to grow, the British elite back home started to worry.

The question was, how could they maintain order - (and profit) - in a colony where land was cheap, labour was unpredictable, and class divisions were beginning to blur?
