LIVE | Aussie Bhai: How Alcohol Started Australia's Wildest Rebellion | A Peek in History

What happens when an entire country starts paying its workers in alcohol? In 1808, Australia’s only military coup was triggered when a liquid currency took over the economy. In this episode of Aussie Guy Reviews History, we investigate how a lack of official coins led to the dramatic overthrow of Governor William Bligh.
We explore how the New South Wales Corps seized control of the spirits trade to run the colony as a private business. We also analyze the high-stakes confrontation between the state and the street: the battle between Governor Bligh’s reformist agenda and John Macarthur, the influential landowner who mobilized a military mutiny to protect his interests. Discover how this chaotic rebellion forced the transition to a formal banking system and the eventual birth of Westpac.
