What did squatters believe?
In Australian history, squatters were graziers who occupied land without having any formal title to it. They believed that if they maintained and improved the land, they had a right to formal possession of it. Many of the original squatters were ticket-of-leave convicts. Some came by their land dishonestly. A licensing system was introduced whereby, for a regular fee, the squatters were permitted to stay on their land. However, the fee did not grant them full title. Discontent arose when the Government re-allocated the land to settlers who were prepared to pay a reasonable sum of money. Later, the term squatters referred to wealthy landowners and graziers, and it became a more respectable term.

Process of becoming a squatter in 1820?
There was no specific process. Squatters chose the land they wanted, erected their sheep or cattle runs and fences, and called that area their land. They had no actual legal right to the land, but they gained the land simply by being the first in the area. Squatter were different from selectors, who were awarded tracts of land. Sometimes selectors' lands encroached upon what the squatters called their own, and conflict resulted. Regulations to control "squatting" only came in during the 1830s.
