Quote-It relieves them of the guilt of growing rich from land which might still have had Aborigines living on it in the unlikely event that no other conquerers had stumbled on the world's largest island by the twenty-first century. Considering that the Dutch had already been to Australia on several occasions and showed interest in it, it would have been safe to assume that it is probable that the dutch would have colonised. And we all remember how dutch colonials turned out in South Africa. If the indiginous population of Australia believe that they where mistreated at the hands of the English, it would have been nothing compared to the treatment by Boer-like colonials. Or treatment by the Indonesians.
