It pre-empted a French colonisation.
It began the civilisation of a continent with stone-age inhabitants, a process which had begun thousands of years earlier on the other non-arctic continents.But each goveror had in his charter the role of protecting the Aborigines.
British rule also brought British protection of the expanding Australian Colonies.
British oversight ensured that the colonies observed British standards of Law and Order.
Trade with the Mother Country supported development and rising prosperity and living standards in the Colonies.
Britain was open to self-government by the colonies, and eventually the country, when they could get their acts together and demonstrate that they were capable of exercising responsible self-government.

Was Australia under the British control?
Yes. The British colonised Australia, and appointed a Governor of their choosing. This Governor abided by the edicts and rules of the British Government, but he had the freedom to make changes and improvements in the laws as they applied specifically to Australia - with permission from the British authorities, of course.
How were the convicts moved?
The convicts were transported via ships from England to Australia. The First Fleet was under British authority, but the Second Fleet was contracted out to private contractors. Because of the terrible conditions of the Second Fleet, subsequent fleets we again up under British authority. Once in Australia, they were required to walk everywhere.
Was Australia under British control?
Yes. Australia was colonised by Britain in 1788, and thus was completely under British control until 1901, the years of Australia's Federation. Even then, Australia remained under diminishing British control right up until the Australia Act of 1986.
Why is Australia still under British government?
Australia is not still under British government.Australia was colonised by Great Britain, and for over a century, was indeed under the British government. British rule of Australia began to be chipped away at Federation on 1 January 1901, when the Commonwealth of Australia was created. This gave Australia the right to govern itself.Although the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia came into effect at Federation, this did not mean that Australia was now independent of the British government. When the UK approved colonial federation, it meant that the six self-governing states of Australia allocated some functions to a federal authority. Australia gained the status of a Dominion, which meant it remained a self-governing colony within the British Empire, with the Head of State being the British monarch. The British government appointed Australia's Governor-General and State Governors, who answered to the British government.All Dominions within the British Empire were declared "equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown, and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations" at the Imperial Conference of 1926. The Statute of Westminster 1931 ratified the discussions of the Imperial Conference. This meant that Australia and other Dominions such as South Africa, New Zealand and Canada could now conduct treaties and agreements with foreign powers, and manage their own military strategies. No longer were the Australian Governor-General, Parliament and individual governors answerable to the UK. The British monarch could only act on the advice of the Australian Government, and the Governor-General was no longer appointed by and answerable to the British monarch.The defeat of the large British garrison at Singapore in January 1942 came as a very unwelcome shock to the Australian government. It exposed the weakness of Britain and led Australia to seek much closer ties with the US and it was felt that for this the country needed full independence; hence the date for activating the 1931 Statute of Westminster. Australian Parliament formally adopted the Statute of Westminster 1931 under the Statute of Westminster Adoption Act 1942, on 9 October 1942.Australia reached the next and final stage of independence from British government on 3 March 1986, when the Australia Acts came into effect. The Australia Acts declared that Australia had the status of a Sovereign, Independent and Federal Nation. The nation still retains Elizabeth II as head of state, but her position as Australia's head of state is a completely separate position from her position as the head of state of any other country, including the UK. What the Australia Act effectively did was remove the ability of the British Government to make laws for Australia and removed the last legal link with the UK by abolishing the right of appeal to the judicial committee of the Privy Council. Also it was not until 1988 that the last state, Queensland, removed this from their statutes as well.Some might argue Australia is still under the British government as the country is still technically ruled by the British monarchy; however, it must be noted that the monarchy does not have any right to interfere with Australian laws. Australia has the freedom to become a republic any time it chooses.

What are the positive effects on children after divorce if they have lived in a okay family with both parents initially?
It might be stretching it to say there are any "positive" effects, but a situation such as you describe should help minimize the "negative" effects, at any rate. Under the best of circumstances, there is really nothing "positive" about divorce for the children, unless one of the partners in the marriage was being very abusive.
