It's a very long way from a gong for a former PM; to the invasion of Australia by whites? Most of who, who arrived in chains; and, only after enduring one of the longest and most dangerous sea voyages, with many arriving in body bags or simply jettisoned at sea; after succumbing to the terrible rigours of enforced transportation.
My Irish and Scottish ancestors had no love for the English or their invading armies!
One can't justify history; or indeed, hold anyone to account living today; for any part of it!
My Tasmanian forbears have their own oral history, which tells of a time around 12-14,000 years ago, when a mini ice age lowered the sea level and allowed northern aggressors to invade; replete with fire stick, hunting dogs and murderous intent.
They drove the first Australians; peaceful fisher folk in the main, before them like chaff before the wind! Murdering the men and raping and enslaving womenfolk; and their children, which keep the women compliant!
The few who survived; only did so by undertaking an incredibly perilous journey on/in rafts or canoes; from mainland Australia to Tassie.
There is archival records and an oral history; that tell of routine infanticide and marriage ceremonials; that were little more than brutal rape, which perpetuated an ingrained custom of treating women like mere bagatelle or property.
I'm really tired of people bemoaning history or the fact that some better armed and equipped interloper dispossessed them of land they took from others?
Get over it! All the participants are mouldering in their graves! And stop using it as a very worn out miserable excuse for inexcusable behaviour; and or, an over representative prison population!

Rhrosty, I don't know where you get your 'history' from. You say in reference to migrants "most of whom arrived in chains" of all the migrants to Australia, transportation of convicts accounted for only 160,000 between 1788 and 1868. The gold rush period of 1850-60 alone saw no less than 500,000 new arrivals. The vast majority of migrants to Australia arrived post WWII, none of whom arrived in chains. Consequently today about 6,000,000 people living here were born overseas. The rest of your post with its references to 'archival records' and 'oral history' of 12 to 14,000 years ago etc is just as fanciful as your slant on migration. Then you go on about the 'strong conquer the weak stuff' as if that is the natural way of things. Even if every claim you make was to be true, none of what you say will ever justify the Europeans genocide against Indigenous Australia.
