As an Australian (non British criminal ) I think your comment is a little unfair.
Sorry but you got hit with a little friendly fire intended for the obtuse, historically challenged, neanderthals that frequent this forum. No insult to current Australians intended.

The population of Indonesia is 242,325,638. The population of Australia is 22,620,600. It won't take long.
"ASYLUM seekers in Indonesia have swung into party mode and labelled Julia Gillard a "hero" after learning they will receive welfare payments and rent assistance should they make it to Australia by boat. The wannabe citizens are ecstatic the government has conceded detention centres are beyond maximum capacity and that asylum seekers would need to be released into the community while their applications for refugee status were processed.
They would be given financial and housing support - as well as free basic health care - a massive boost from their current financial status in Indonesia where many are struggling to afford food."
open the floodgates. anyone who complains will simply be shouted down with ear-piercing squeals of 'racist!!' 'hater!!' 'bigot!!' until they give up and go away.
I know this is complicated... but try to follow along;

You asked what was the continent we call Australia, which means nothing more than Land to the South in latin, named before Willem Janszoon ran into the place in 1606. I replied, home, referring to the fact that the inhabitants of the continent didn't appear to feel a need to name the place that they knew as home for 50,000 years prior to ole Janszoon's arrival.
So, with regards to the European invasion, what else would you call another tribe of people showing up on the shores that you currently occupy and declare that they own it for no other reason than they have some god given right to do so (not your god by the way)?

There were people living here well before Europeans arrived. Yes, to the Aborigines, it was an invasion. What is your point ?
