whites brought: -
- grog
- diseases
- firearms
- steel weapons
- war
- dislocation
- slavery
- proselytisation
- missions
- prostitution
- poor diet - malnutrition, tooth decay, sickness.
- more grog

oh and whites also brought "civilisation" which enabled : -
- imprisonment
- laws that none could understand
- deprivation of the right to speak ones own language
- money
- private ownership

I could go on for a while.... total disruption to the lives of first Aussies and while there were some positives, they were seriously outweighed by the negatives.
