Who benefited from the arrival of the first fleet?
The British government, certainly not the indigenous Australians.There was a need to do something about the large amount of people in overcrowded British prisons but the real reason was for Britain to gain a naval stronghold in the Pacific. The convicts were used just like slaves and when people began to arrive of their own free will the convicts were sent to work with them. When new convict ships arrived the convicts were herded into an area and selected by the free settlers.The British thought very little of the Aboriginals and their were moves afoot akin to genocide to remove them altogether from the land!For example, in August 1824 Martial Law was declared in the mid west of NSW around Bathurst. "The squatters armed themselves and shot any black people ...as if they were shooting dogs" (Mary Coe, Windradyne, A Wiradjuri Koorie, 2nd Edn, Aboriginal Studies Press, (1989))It has been estimated that when the First Fleet arrived in 1788 there were some 750,000 indigenous Australians. By 1888 the number was around 60,000.An absolute disgrace
