Those Lucky Original Australians

An Australian who, when Prime Minister, weakened and seized Aboriginal land, suspended the racial discrimination act and refused to apologise to the  tens of thousands of Aboriginal children who were forcibly taken from their families, that man's view on pretty much anything is unsurprisingly awful
so when he said that the Brits colonising Australia was the luckiest thing that happened to Australia, it's not that much of a surprise.
I guess if you ignore the 100,000 Indigenous Australians who died at the hands of the settler Brits and brush off the way Britain emptied it's Prisons of all its rapists, murders and other undesirables into the country and let's not mention the rounding up of the natives and relocating them into reserves and stealing their land.  
Put all that to one side and yep, those original Australians who were there already must have been thanking their lucky stars when our ships turned up otherwise it's just the rantings of an idiot racist who should keep his big fat prejudiced and bigoted mouth shut.
