How were the aborigines affected when the British came?
The British originally looked upon Australia as "terra nullius", i.e. "no man's land". As far as the British colonists were concerned, this meant that they could take over whatever land they wanted, includng the best and most fertile land. They had no regard for the idigenous inhabitants of the country, and were prepared to ignore them and even co-exist with them as long as the Aborigines did not interfere with British settlement. However, as the Europeans took more and more land from the Aborigines, they couldn't hunt in their traditional grounds and attend sacred lands. In their need for water for stock and farms, the British destroyed the aboriginal fish traps, which were amazingly complicated designs to herd fish for easy hunting. The Aborigines resolved the problem of reduced hunting grounds by killing the European's livestock, as therer was no aboriginal concept of ownership. Resources were there for everyone to share. The Europeans reacted angrily by paying 'equal justice'; they killed and tortured numerous aborigines.

When did the Aborigines become full citizens of Australia?
Aborigines became British Citizens when Australia was claimed by Lieutenant James Cook in 1770. Aboriginal men in South Australia were given the vote in 1854 at the same time that all white South Australian men received the vote. Similarly, Aboriginal and White South Australian women received the vote in the 1890s. When Federation was declared in 1901 Aborigines were given the vote only those states in which they already had the vote, which was all states except Queensland and Western Australia. In 1948 all Australians, white and black, became Australian Citizens. In 1967 an overwhelming majority of Australians decided at a referendum that Aborigines should be counted in the census.
