H. M. Chester, Magistrate at Thursday Island to Colonial Secretary, Brisbane, August 3o, 1878. (PP. 1883, c. 3617, p. 8o.) 3 Work and Adventure in New Guinea, 1885, p. 213. 4 G. R.

He certainly could never otherwise have obtained that influence over the natives which enabled him, and in a lesser degree, enabled Lawes to render such conspicuous service to explorers, and gold-seekers, and to the Protectorate. The broad-minded religious policy of the missionaries increased, and helped to maintain the influence gained by their peaceful bearing. They came as educators as well as protectors, and they were careful not to render the principles they taught unpopular, by attempting to put savages, accustomed to licence, into the straitwaistcoat of European convention. They emphasized their creed, not by trying to enforce a rigid code of European manners, but by interpreting the Christian inspiration in terms suitable to a different climate and a different race....

From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, Australian settler colonists mobilised their unique settler experiences to develop their own vision of what ‘empire’ was and could be. Reinterpreting their histories and attempting to divine their futures with a much heavier concentration on racialized visions of humanity, white Australian settlers came to believe that their whiteness as well as their Britishness qualified them for an equal voice in the running of Britain’s imperial project. Through asserting their case, many soon claimed that, as newly minted citizens of a progressive and exemplary Australian Commonwealth, white settlers such as themselves were actually better suited to the modern task of empire. Such a settler political cosmology with empire at its center ultimately led Australians to claim an empire of their own in the Pacific Islands, complete with its own, unique imperial governmentality.
