In 1788, no part of Australia was even known as Australia. The only settled part was Port Jackson, which was the beginning of the colony of New South Wales. Thus, it was governed by a Governor, Arthur Phillip, who had been appointed by the British authorities. While Phillip had the authority to establish and implement laws and rules as he saw fit, the colony was completely under British rule.
