Ever since Captain Cook set foot at Kurnell in 1770, the land now known as Australia has been completely turned on its head.
The impact of colonisation in Australia is a hot button political issue, and one that Australia has consistently struggled to gain a consensus on.
Adding to this earlier in the year, The Federal Government announced $50million tax-payer dollars for a revamp of Cook’s 1770 landing place. To turn it into a major tourist attraction and include a $3million statue of Cook himself.
So is why is the Government doing this?
