'Colonists and Convicts', 1864. Australian Colonist says: Now, Mr. Bull! Don't shoot any more of your Rubbish here, or I shall Quarrel. Australia had long been a dumping-ground for the British criminal classes and Australian objections were frequent. This cartoon illustrates this conflict, with Mr Policeman Bull emptying the royal van of the latest batch of British villains onto Australian soil, to the annoyance of the Australian worker. From Punch, or the London Charivari, October 29, 1864.
