What was the British perspective on colonization of Australia
From 1788, Australia was treated by the British as a colony of settlement, not of conquest. Aboriginal land was taken over by British colonists on the premise that the land belonged to no-one ('terra nullius').
How did Colonisation affect the indigenous people in Australia : Colonisation severely disrupted Aboriginal society and economy—epidemic disease caused an immediate loss of life, and the occupation of land by settlers and the restriction of Aboriginal people to 'reserves' disrupted their ability to support themselves.
To Cook, Aboriginal people were 'uncivilised' hunters and gatherers—he did not see evidence of settlement and farming in a form he recognised. Although many British colonisers shared Cook's views, some believed that the Indigenous people were rightful owners of the land. Early relations were typically friendly, and the British government instructed the colonists to respect Indigenous rights. But as the colony spread inland from the coast, competition for land and resources bred conflict. The consequences of colonization on Indigenous Australians were devastating.

How did the British treat the Aboriginal people in Australia
As British settlement expanded to other parts of Australia, more Indigenous groups were forced off their traditional lands. Indigenous peoples struggled to survive, and a large number died from starvation and malnourishment. The survivors suffered other kinds of trauma. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were subjected to a range of injustices, including mass killings or being displaced from their traditional lands and relocated on missions and reserves in the name of protection. Cultural practices were denied, and subsequently many were lost.The Native Americans were forced to give up their lands so the colonists could grow even more tobacco. In addition to their desire for land, the English also used religion to justify bloodshed. In 1637, New England Puritans exterminated thousands of Pequot Indians, including women and children.
