Best Answer

One of the main reasons that Australia was colonised was so that England would have a location to send its excess numbers of convicts. The first official settlement in Australia was made up of convicts, along with the marines who guarded them, and the officers who oversaw the colony. The First Fleet was a government-authorised fleet, and all rules and laws on the ships were endorsed by the British authorities.

North America, on the other hand, was established as a free settlement. Convicts were sent later, and they arrived on contracted ships, not official government ships.
