Colonization-Ethnocentricity
The ethnocentricity of the British caused lots of horrible problems which created conflict between the two races. This was because the British brought their own culture since they thought it was much better than the Australian culture since they believed that they were more civilized.Then, the British forced the Australians to adjust to their new surroundings which caused conflict between the two races.One example is when they brought their own animals such as rabbits to the land which later on overpopulated the land.Another example is how they kidnapped Bennelong and treated him very nicely in order make him love the British culture and get used to it, and the British brought Bennelong to England which was all an act of showing that they conquered the land. But then it turned out to be bad because the Aboriginals wanted payback for kidnapping Bennelong, and that turned out to cause some conflict between them. All these reasons show what the British doesn't want the Australians and the Australians don't want them.
