Introduction
This study is an attempt to reflect an indigenous Australian’s hope to close the true gap
clearly demonstrated between the indigenous and non-indigenous people living in India
especially from the economic viewpoint. The reason behind this gap is attributed to the seven
distinct phases of the colonisation of the Australia and its consequent link to the seven phases
of aboriginal history that provides the basis to understand the perspectives and culture of the
Indigenous people of Australia. Further it examines the effect of the colonisation on the
business of the Indigenous people due to the various critical issues occurred or faced by them
and the analysis of the same from the aboriginal perspective and finally suggests the
necessary course of action that seems justified from the aboriginal perspective so as to
resolve the critical issues faced by these indigenous Australian people in their business and
finally provides the conclusion as to how the key cultural attitudes, bias and self-concept
influence one’s own thinking about economic issues (Abdullah & Said, 2017).
The history of colonisation in Australia began first in the year 1825 when Van Diemen’s
Land was colonised as a penal one to prevent the French people from claiming the Land.
In 1827 when WA was colonised when it’s governor showed a very highly enthusiastic
approach towards its resources available in form of river and fresh water, lime and clay and
consequently became an English colony.
The second phase made the south Australia a new British colony in the year 1836 that was
the result of the administrative and commercial partnership between the South Australian
colonisation commission and the British government.
Then the New South Wales was colonised by the Arthur Philip with the help of the more than
1000 people with 11 ships and developed as a British colony.
In the year 1851 the Victoria grew as a British colony of 54000 people by being separated
from the New South wales and it was a non-convict colony and not a penal one.
In 1959 Queensland became a separate British colony by being separated from New South
wales that was the result of signing the patent letter by the Queen Victoria.
Finally, in 1901 Australia got the status of the Federal nation because of the vote of the WA
to join the rest of the Australian federation.
