When did the Queen approve the end of convict transportation to Australia?

Transportation of convicts to Australia ended when the last convict ship left Britain in 1867 and arrived in Australia on 10 January 1868. This ship, the "Hougoumont", brought its final cargo of 269 convicts to Western Australia, as New South Wales had abolished transportation of convicts in 1840.

It is not so much what Mary Bryant herself did, but for the fact that she represents all those other thousands of convict women, sentenced unjustly, and forced to endure the months-long horrific voyage to Australia in dangerous and unsanitary conditions. Even once she - and others - reached New South Wales, they endured incredible hardships and abuse by men. Mary, like so many others in her situation, was a survivor. It was upon determined and persistent people like this that the great nation of Australia was built.

What was the greatest reason for the start of the inquisition?

The Church had long suppressed heresy, mostly by punishing individual heretics in such ways as imprisonment. The rise of Catharism made it difficult to continue this practice, because there were so many heretics to deal with. So the Church developed inquisitions as a way to deal with larger numbers of people. Inquisitions were not general through the entire Church, but local, and there were many of them.
