What would Australia be like today if it had not been colonised by Britain

What would Australia/Gondwana be like today if it had not been colonised by Britain?

Who would have colonised this country?  The Dutch? The French? The Portuguese  Or maybe Indonesia? or?

What would it be like under one of these other countries

What would  Gondwana be like if it hadnt been  colonised?

I think native Australians are far more evolved than people give them credit for.

Always have been.

the country would probably be just as modern as any other on the planet even if it had never been colonised.  the Aborigines traded with Asia long before Australia was colonised and people from other nationalities would probably have moved here over time.  The country and the people would have progressed just as people in other nations did.  

Our treatment of Indigenous people was and still is up there with the worst of anywhere in the world.  What the British did and what white Australia continues to do is a disgrace and sorry is hardly near enough in my opinion.

In what way.

At the time of the arrival of white settlers theirs was still an old stone age hunter gatherer society. The same sort of culture that most of the rest of world abandoned 10,000 or more years ago with the coming of agriculture in the New Stone Age.
