Seriously...why the intense dislike of a country thousands of miles from you?
Why on earth should I dislike any country let alone have any intense dislike? I like all European countries equally likewise most Asian countries that I am familiar with. As I have said some people in this forum are just so sensitive and view anything less than full some praise as criticism yet are happy to call other countries or their inhabitants by some appalling names.
Frankly I don't understand it, this super sensitivity is very wearing. I would be interested to hear why saying:
"That is a particularly British idea which also led to them declaring New Holland Terra nullius" leads you to think it is an indication of intense dislike - it is just a statement of fact. Why anybody should be offended by it is beyond me.
I certainly don't take offence at anything anybody says about Australia.
Look at the sequence of repartee that nearly led to poor old Moscow being in tears:

What's the difference between a pommie and a Qantas jet?
The Qantas jet stops whining when it arrives at Sydney airport.
(Very old joke)
See what I mean? Yet you accuse me of having an 'intense dislike'? Get real, grow some balls and stop being such a delicate flower.
