1818 - The Bigge Report(England wanted the colony to be a place of horror so that it would deter people from committing crimes. In vain did Macquarie feel proud of himself for doing a good job, there were much greater forces at play here. England was no longer afraid of Napoleon and democratic forces, the conservatives were now out in force again urging the authorities tor repress, repress, repress.)Up in London they get queasy Things Down Under are too easy. Convict policy is in error, What those buggers need is terror, Scare in Britain the aberrant, Make Botany Bay a deterrent. With command to vex and worsen London sends a polite person. Born of cunning country gentry The upper class's perfect sentry, Inspector Bigge arrives on Barry Justice solely to miscarry. After quick stint of inspection, Saying things without inflection, Touring sites from quay to quarry, Making nervous poor Macquarie, Bigge reports to his noble friends, And this is what he recommends: 'Shudder not to be the ogre, Search hard for the ideal flogger, Lash'em, kick'em, club'em, flay'em, Spark off unbearable mayhem, Keep them down and keep them smitten, Boys, you're doing this for Britain.' In the Eighteen Twenties climate Morale collective starts to plummet, Bigge's report turns out a scorcher, Motivates fiendishness and torture, Starts to spread unwanted horror From Newcastle to Illawarra.
