Answer:

The treatment of native people by British settlers in Australia and New Zealand was similar to their actions in North America, as it led to a decline in the indigenous population due to introduced diseases, violent conflict, and occupation of their lands. In both Australia and North America, settlers often reacted to indigenous resistance with great violence, resulting in numerous massacres of indigenous men, women, and children. However, there were also some differences. For instance, New Zealand was not a penal colony, and the conflict between indigenous and settler populations differed from Australia. Moreover, although Aboriginal Australians were utilized as unpaid labor in various industries, slavery did not exist in Australia.
