They killed lots of indigenous Australians and claimed the land as their own saying it was uninhabited when they arrived. Always has, always will be aboriginal land.

European occupation resulted in the introduction of many new animal and plant species, which ultimately led to the extinction or near-extinction of many, many native species. The balance of the land and the environment was lost, particularly once tree-clearing started and agriculture was introduced.

Agriculture in inappropriate places (such as above the Goyder Line in South Australia) has led to increased desertification. Redirecting natural water channels means that many areas are more prone to flooding, while redirecting water away from main rivers such as the Murray has led to rising salinity levels in the river.

What effects did the European settlers have on the biodiversity of the Australian environment?

The early British settlers believed that the Australian environment was full of man-eating kangaroo like monsters so they shot them and ate them for breakfast. They then discovered a new species of animal called 'Rhiannan' which was later extinct due to tasting so good. She tasted so delicious that once the species died out and they couldn't eat any more, they at each-other's brains and thus starting the brain-eating plague. When the humans eventually died out, dinosaurs started to walk the earth again, coming out of all the places that humans didn't dare to go! Like rhiannan's wardrobe. And Andrews underwear drawer.
