The originalsettlers of Australia were convicts that were sentenced to come to Australia Australia did have a history of regular slaver when they started kidnapping inhabitants from surrounding islands to work in the sugar cane fields and other endeavors. This was known as Black birding. All those that were involved in this were British. Australia as a country was formed by the federation of all of the separate colony's that now make it up in 1901 but by that time convict labour had been abandoned and slavery was starting to go out of vogue.
