Breaker Morant and Ned Kelly are the first two legendary Aussie characters. The third one is the jolly swagman by the billabong.
Ok, I will ask again...what source(s) do you draw that conclusion about Morant from?
You just made up that entire post about NZ history as you were typing it.
Then its highly evident you as a KIWI really don't know your NZ-British colonial empire history....since NZ was indeed
part of the Crowns colony of NSW, and thus came under the administrational and durastictional laws of such.
https://nzhistory.govt.nz/letters-p...d-a-colony-separate-from-new-south-walesThe below map link shows in pink, the basic boundary of NSW lands as first defined and claimed by Cpt. Cook for the Crown
on Possession Island 22nd August 1770 and as it still remained when the First Fleet arrived in Australia 1788, with NZ remaining
part of the same till 1840.
When in Jan 1788 the actual colony of New South Wales had been founded, Its Governor, Captain Arthur Phillip had amended
the Commission to alter the boundary not of the crown lands claimed by Cook, but of the colony itself. -- Dated 25 April 1787,
the colony of New South Wales now included all the islands adjacent in the Pacific Ocean within the latitudes of 10°37'S and 43°39'S
which encompassed most of New Zealand except for the southern half of the South Island.

Growing lawlessness among Europeans in New Zealand and fears of a French annexation of the country led 13 northern chiefs
to ask King William IV for his protection. Missionary William Yate helped the chiefs draft the letter to the King. The Crown
acknowledged the petition and promised protection."Below: Read both sections p.55 " British Sovereignty" and " Treaty of Waitangi" that mention the issue with lawless white sailors
and adventurers, as well as the ongoing problem with lawless white settlers:

I'm not going to bother explaining 19th century New Zealand history to you.
For that we can all be rather thankful ,for you could not possibly convey important established historical facts about British colonial NZ
that you were blatantly unaware of.
