In 1841, Reverend Francis Tuckfield of the Buntingdale mission near Geelong, Victoria, recorded a conversation he had recently had with a group of Aboriginal men. The men were impressed by a new hut being built on the mission and announced to Tuckfield that they wanted huts of their own, but these would have to be spacious, to accommodate their three wives each. Tuckfield told them sternly that if they wanted the material benefits of European housing they should also adopt the moral benefits of European monogamy. The men were more puzzled than offended by Tuckfield’s lecture on the sin of polygamy, and asked with surprise why God would be interested in such an ordinary matter and why He would deny the privilege of multiple wives even to the missionaries who talked so much about Him. They rejected Tuckfield’s suggestion that they abandon two wives each, explaining, much to his outrage, that they needed lots of women to do their hard work. Tuckfield felt his worst fears had been confirmed: the men, he believed, had no respect for women or monogamy, not so much because of lust, but because of laziness, greed and amorality — these, the missionary assumed, were typical qualities of savages.1
