A brief introduction to the reasons the whites were happy to publicise the "primitive", "stone-age", "savage" nature of the First Australians, and either ignore and/or expunge all alternative evidence.
Or, at least, that was their very neat excuse for claiming the land was terra nullius, which under the basic international law of the time meant the land was not occupied by anyone, at least anyone who could claim ownership, so it was okay for whites to occupy it and ignore the people already living on it.
Thus, any evidence that might be claimed to represent a different situation had to be very quietly expunged from the record.
By this means, for the legal record, the eyes of any contrary members of the British parliament who existed at the time, or any of their imperial rivals, were diverted from the reality of the British theft.
To this effect, the white invaders claimed the First Australians didn't have any legal, social, or administrative management systems at all.
