Benbradley, I take that post as a relative comparison of Great Britain to what other colonial powers have done. GB was not alone in the impact it had on the land and indigenous peoples of other regions but its negative impacts should neither be censored nor played down in the historical record.
But hey, it was not I who made the comment that until British colonisation that Australia was "... unsettled or um, scarcely settled ..." and "... and owes its existence to Britain’s “form of foreign investment” in the land ...".
It would be a simple matter for Abbott to apologise for what HE said last night. Failing that we have NO choice but to assume HE has some sort of agenda in bothering to make such a comment, an agenda Australians have every right to know about.

The usual 'storm in a teacup' by the loony Left, which still can't get over the fast that the Coalition kicked out a grossly dysfunctional Labor/Greens alliance. An alliance that bequeathed the incoming Government a mountain of debt, guaranteed to spill over into the incoming Government's debt basket.
