I am Asian (origin), and we don't have bad regards for Australia. The countries in Asia which are in the commonwealth, take Australia's example to industrialize and build cities as the way forward. For the convicts thing, the first 10,000 people were probably convicts, but look into South Australia, it did not accept convicts and was mainly populated by pioneers. Most of Australia's popuation is desendant from pioneers and the remainder for convicts.
