and, should those not be available, and should the colonial assemblies not be willing to authorize the building of shelter for the troops,
“uninhabited houses, outhouses, barns, or other buildings, as shall be necessary”

Isn’t it always about money?
Australia needed the mother land a lot longer than other places.
