特地来指出一下哈，当年被流放到澳大利亚的英国人都是重刑犯，哪里是偷了一只鸡🐔，看了眼小姑娘的街头混混。还是不要混淆视听的好。
美洲大陆资源丰富，离欧洲本土的距离也近，殖民者从拿着英王许可证的大贵族到反抗宗教压迫的宗教难民，还有无数怀揣发财梦的自由平民。
作者单单从移民来源上说两国的文化基因的形成，论点论据都不合理，也不充分，是个非常失败的结论。应该把那一段删除，反而会使文章看上去更合理。

你这是胡扯。当年送来澳洲的还真是非常轻的犯人为主：
During the early years of Australian colonization, mainly between 1788 and 1868, Britain sent thousands of convicts to Australia as a means to deal with its overflowing prisons. Many of the criminals sent to Australia were convicted for relatively minor offenses, such as theft, larceny, or forgery. It is important to note that the legal system at the time was quite harsh, and many of these offenses were punishable by death or transportation to penal colonies.
Some of the common types of convicts sent to Australia included:
- Petty thieves: Those who had committed small-scale theft or pickpocketing.
- Poachers: Individuals who hunted game illegally on private land.
- Forgers and counterfeiters: Those who produced fake documents, currency, or signatures.
- Highwaymen: Outlaws who robbed travelers on public roads.
- Political prisoners: People convicted for their political beliefs or actions, particularly during times of social unrest.
- Prostitutes: Women who engaged in sex work, which was often criminalized during that time.
- Debtors: People who were unable to pay their debts and were imprisoned as a result.
Although the majority of convicts transported to Australia were not violent criminals, some more serious offenders, including murderers and rapists, were also sent to the penal colonies. Over time, transportation to Australia evolved into a more organized system, and the types of crimes for which people were transported changed. By the mid-19th century, the British government began to phase out the practice of transporting convicts, and the last convict ship arrived in Western Australia in 1868.
