Yeah. :-( I've never really put my figure on why out histories are quite a bit different, other than we were colonized about 50 years after you and attitudes had progressed a bit further by then.
Hmmm... Okay, your bicentenary was in 1988, so Australia began (so to speak:) in 1788, and NZ in 1840 (with the Treaty of Waitangi). That gap is exactly when Wiliam Wilberforce was active against slavery, he introducing his first bill against it in 1788 (defeated) and the last one in 1833, resulting in the abolition of all slavery in British territories...

So, a major change in British attitudes during that period has to have something to do with it.
