The British Prime Minister who sent the first convicts to Australia was Lord Sydney, who held office from 1792 to 1794. The decision to establish a penal colony in Australia was made under his administration, leading to the First Fleet's arrival in botany Bay in 1788. The fleet carried convicts from Britain, marking the beginning of European settlement in Australia.
