Australia today is one of the wealthiest and most highly developed nations on the planet, boasting enviably high levels of education, healthcare and wages, which when coupled with its easy going and laid-back lifestyle, makes for one of the highest levels of living standards enjoyed anywhere in the world.
The quality of life in Australia is in fact so high that it’s five major metropolitan urban areas; Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, all regularly feature in the top 10 of the Global Liveability Index, which ranks cities based on their levels of stability, healthcare, culture, environment, education and infrastructure.
All of this culminates in Australia having one of the worlds highest levels of life expectancy, with males expecting to live to an average of 81.30 years of age and females to an average of 85.40 years. This marks Australia, alongside neighbouring New Zealand, as clear outliers in terms of life expectancy when compared to the levels of other nations in the southern hemisphere, where in some instances barely exceed the age of 50.
However, Australia hasn’t always enjoyed such high levels of life expectancy, nor any other measures of human development for that matter. Just over 150 years ago, in 1870, a new-born child was only expected to live to the age of 34 on average and just a few decades prior to that, the livelihoods themselves of many Australians consisted of little more than carrying out hard, arduous labour in a harsh and unforgiving environment. That is because for much of Australia’s early history, the country was governed as a penal colony for British convicts, who were transported to the far side of the world to lay the foundations of the first European settlements there.
But how did this country change to such a degree, going from a place where people were sent to be punished, into a place where many aspire to live today?
This is the history of Australia.

No mention of tribal life in this video. The fact is that the native peoples practiced cannibalism, sodomy, & their women (lubras) were assaulted by their males as were the children. Many children never reached adulthood due to starvation & being eaten by tribal members. Numerous lubras took up with Europeans, living with them, as they received reasonable treatment & food.

[@theoriginal-pk3089]

Great quality,...there's just one thing. I'm not indigenous or anything, but I find your history quite friendly to the settlers. "They kidnapped to communicate" or "misunderstandings led to violence". Similar to the Camanche tribes in Texas in North America. The settlers laid claim upon arrival to parcels of land without any consultation, while the indigenous people prided them selves on sharing the land. They were forcibly removed from their land, and they were conquered, I don't think this is a misunderstanding as you keep putting it. Intentions of the British with this culture are further seen through evidence of slavery and crime against the native population. And most of all, you see the stolen generation later on. All that is to show their intentions and views of the native population. It was never friendly or meant to be that way. Just like they fought to rip what became the United States apart the British ripped that native populous, you just might want to do that point justice as you seem to portray it in a more biased light.

[@damiennelson275]

No slavery in Australia except for the convicts who were forced into slave labor and that’s a stretch.. The British were at least better then the Spanish Dutch and Portuguese..

I think from how the settling happened all the way to the stolen generation, so much damage was done to the indigenous culture that even if say they did a peace home initiative, it would still take a lot more to bring those broken homes back to standard.

all in all a fairly decent summary, though there are some significant distortion of the facts. The White Australia policy wasn't actually called that, it was the immigration restriction act. It was in place to protect what the British had built as an outpost for the British people, with all its culture and traditions. It wasn't ended due to the influx of people after WW2. It was ended due to fierce advocacy from Jewish Lobbies, in particular a German Jew called Water Max Lippmann. He wanted to preserve his Jewish culture and not have Jews as a distinct minority so he lobbied his friends the Labor government to remove the immigration restriction act and open up Australia to the divisive and massive failures that is multicultural. Mass immigration from non homogenous nations then commenced. Lippmann also advocated for the aboriginal groups, along with groups of communists they worked to divide Australia further with land treaties and taught the aboriginals how to be perpetual victims. Jews also attempted a massive land grab for themselves in Australia - called the Kimberly plan.

They landed 1600km NE of sydney across the pacific ocean at a small island called Norfolk Island, this is the sydney cove which the claim was made. the deceit runs thick with trickery in all colonisation which is a sugar coated word for genocide and gorilla warfare. little does many know the difference between Australia and commonwealth of Australia. In Latin Dogma Law, the term Includes is used to describe the geographical location of continents.

You missed the story of Australian drinking and then go get some abros for fun?

[@lindakinchela8776]

They never talk about it or admit it either the mother fuckers

[@AKAFUBU1]

[@DaliHas]

Oooh it wasn’t that smooth like in this video, you forgot to mention the stolen generation.

[@sbailey977]

I think you mean 'saved generation '.

[@MA-gh9op]

You mean the Saved Generation ?

[@angelicasmodel]

The introduction is so terribly Eurocentric! No Australia did not 'begin' as a penal colony, and life expectancy and access to education are not good for everyone. Then a mere few sentences on 60K years of indigenous culture before skipping to the European arrivals.

Boo! nobody cares !

[@AKAFUBU1]

Get your history right .

[@belahatvany]

What about the aboriginals!!!

Leave digital dingoes alone!

Mostly factually correct but a very white perspective video...... If someone enters your house forcibly and starts dictating your life there will be issues.... But the British did too much damage around the world with their neverending hunger and greed that tore apart communities and created everlasting conflict that will outlast multiple generations to come.. 😢

Stolen lands from the aboriginal people give there land back.

Sorry but the first european arriving Austrália were Portuguese two centurys before and there are proofs about that fact.
