-Maxine Darnell has compiled a list of Chinese labourers who she has identified as having been brought to Australia to work on a fixed contract. She points out that only a minority of these men have been identified. Court records account for an over-representation of men who fell foul of the legal system. Her list is at {{https://arrow.latrobe.edu.au/store/3/4/5/5/1/public/pdf/indentured.pdf}}. TLM-P is given as the employer of 19 Chinese men between December 1848 and May 1857 at Bugrooperia and Hawkwood. For details, click on [[Darnell list]].+=== Chinese Indentured Labourers ===

TLM-P's employment of these men is in keeping with his - and the squatter faction generally - desire for cheap labour, including his support for the renewal of the transportation of convicts.((Helen Gregory, 'Squatters, selectors and - dare I say it - speculators', //Journal of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland//, XI:4, 1983, p.83.))\\
