John McDouall Stuart had a policy of never firing on the Aborigines first. He respected the indigenous people, and sought friendly relations whenever he could. Admittedly, at times he was forced by hostile natives to retreat from his mission to cross the continent - but he never fired first.

However, like many Europeans, he held strong Christian beliefs: as he raised the Union Jack in central Australia, he hoped it would be a sign to the Aborigines that "the dawn of Christianity" had begun in Australia, and that the Europeans would be able to enlighten the native people.
