Robertson Land Acts: Difference between revisions

The '''Crown Lands Acts 1861 (NSW)''' (or '''Robertson Land Acts''') were introduced by the [[New South Wales]] [[Premiers of New South Wales|Premier]], [[John Robertson (New South Wales Premier)|John Robertson]], in 1861 to reform land holdings in New South Wales and in particular to break the [[Squattocracysquattocracy]]'s domination of [[land tenure]]. The Acts allowed free selection of [[crown land]] and made redundant the limits of location, which limited sale of land to the [[Nineteen Counties]] which had applied since 1826.
