Context: During Australia’s early colonial period the colony ran on a barter system with rum as the main commodity traded. Governor William Bligh (of Bounty fame) was sent to the colony with instructions to clamp down on the rum trade. This along with other issues led to Australia's only military coup - against the governor by the New South Wales Corps who were becoming rich off the trade.
