INS 10001 Essay: Colonisation, Terra Nullius, and Indigenous Impact

This essay delves into the pervasive influence of colonisation on Australian society, specifically focusing on its detrimental effects on Indigenous communities. The essay examines the historical context of colonisation, including the legal concept of Terra Nullius, and its role in dispossessing Indigenous Australians of their land and culture. It explores the consequences of this dispossession, such as the loss of cultural identity, the marginalization of Indigenous voices, and the perpetuation of social inequalities. The essay further analyzes the ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous Australians in contemporary society, including issues related to land rights, self-determination, and reconciliation. By examining these issues, the essay aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the enduring legacy of colonisation and its impact on the Indigenous experience in Australia. The essay also addresses the concept of the 'Stolen Generation' and the lasting trauma associated with it.

INTRODUCTION
Colonisation is a latest trend of modernisation which is based on modern culture and to adapt
modern activity. In order to build economic growth and development, colonisation is must as it
consist phenomena of modernisation. But it does impact on indigenous people that force them to
adopt its values, cultures and modern lawas regarding use of land, resources and other living
aspects. The indigenous people feel dominant and exploited by getting dependent on colonizers.
This has becomes an obstacle for the indigenous culture of Australia by the law “land of no one”
it shows that the people ahs no rights over their property and are adhered to work on liberal
society(Boolaky, Mirosea, and Singh, 2018). So the Australia has not any benefit from
colonisation rather it gets to deal with dominant culture. This report is going to carry out the
discussion upon effect on indigenous people through colonisation into Australia.
MAIN BODY
TASK: “colonialism is becoming the dominant for Australia due to terra
nullius (land of no one) acquisition through which people could not gain
benefit of modernization”.
The indigenous culture of Australia is that the term of native’s society form Australian people. It
obvious that people represent their identity through their country or nation belongingness,
language they owe and beliefs they follow. There are some people who follow tradition way of
living into northern side of places that known as tribal’s. People build their own identity which in
confronted by well written quotes that, the black wants to know, and must know who they were
and are if they has concerned about what they will become so that they must choose their life by
own. by rising voice and take stand for community and lifestyle and must create oneself a self
confident towards its values and norms. It is the fact that indigenous people in Australia needs to
feel pride and be self involver to control their daily life which would not be depended on
colonising rules and take a stand for themselves. In contemporary Australia, it is becoming the
country of colonisation where people could not recognise the need for developed country. as
according to the Wiradjuri people they make their mentality as a stereotypes and misconceptions

which shows that focus on past rules which showed them who they were as their brain are so
filled with colonizers by what they have told to them(Grant, and Greenop, 2018). People are
still unaware about who they are what it impacts on their life. Due to historical instability in
government regimes, Australia facing colonial duties and empowerment on indigenous people.
Due to which the country has remain underdeveloped and does not seems to growth into global
market. Therefore people are not well confident and aware about their rights regarding on
property, living wages livelihood and lifestyle(Turnbull, 2017). People remain back off and fear
of getting scold or eliminating from country due to high colonisation authority. This goes from
the past crisis and countries still could not face improper behaviour and unethical practices which
is the reason behind getting a misleading advantage of colonisation.
In 1977, it has identified that, there are still many people who live into tradition world and some
of are still lack which is indeed. There impacts on roles of gender which has changed between
men and women who face differentiation in fulfilling their interest of activities such as eating
food, shopping form local market which is converted into traditional acts like hunting, fishing
and managing their weekends. It has also suggested that, there are some changes seen into
relationships which has become modern and no traditional taste people follow within them. By
studying this, the Taylor said “these cultural changes are based on some reason. Either they are
adapting it by own choice or by fear”. No person would like to forget their tradition and own
culture, it’s just the matter of new laws and peripheries that made the people abundant regards
change. Where, old and borrowed elements come together either by choice or for other reasons.
It also shows that when people force to change their culture in order to live in to our country they
may I have no choice to accept the fact and find a way to survive. These all are the integrity of
powerlessness and degradation(Gray, 2018). For the Australian people who suffered with
colonization by eliminating the traditional way of living the land is still alive with some meaning
it still tell the story of creation. This comment is for all people who are black and white whether
they are indigenous people or not. In contemporary Australia the non indigenous people are in
support of the persons who have political power and position of solution. It is the form of ab
originality which is developed by indigenous people but for the government this original people
is who to that identify their acceptance and community in order to live a life. So that all the
indignation people come in the category of aboriginal.

So that, they does not have any separate group or identity into Australia. So it has seen that from
past many years, the Australia has lost its culture and language which become a race for people
in order to live their life. The past thoughts and ideas at present into future with a different
perspective and viewpoint who have the power and authority like government and judges. These
issues Rises against rights for land and identity. It is still unclear clear for wiradjuri people to
know about exact culture and believe they follow. Other parts of the world believe that they need
equality and modernization both in order to create a successful economy but the Australian
country e is exempted from that perception due to unnerved colonization. Many people of
Wiradjuri about the land claim Heritage site and ecological concerns. But the response was in the
question of which tradition are they celebrating and all the governmental rhymes are muted. It
shows that how memory and experiences are eliminating from a nation which shows a total loss
of culture(Mackay, 2018) (Polkinghorne, Weston, and Branley, 2020). It is all because the
colonization being dominant on the indigenous peoples due to you no Sovereignty of traditional
rules that make an economic development in all the ways and worldview. This problem arises
between white and black people living in to rural and urban areas. From remote areas it has
identified that common there are some immunity regarding culture is still exist in which white
people made the law and the black needs to follow with their own respective and mind set. They
know that they need to do it apart from the fact that white people are the leader. There are some
people who take stand for their rights and accept that no law could stop to take their rights from
doing thing. The people lived in Australia title from the country of Europe and other colonies
who want legal recognition in order to create a space for them.
Mainly colonialism is a kind of state in which one country adopt and rule on the land of other
country. Through which whole of the Australia has suffered with no land on their peace so that
people demands for a democratic culture and governance system. People don't have any benefit
from modernization because it becomes the dominant and violent for the country. There and
Daniel which are followed by neutralize, normalised, legitimised and invisible by become the
conscious. The official historical and cultural modes of Daniel are depending on state order. The
resources and equipments of modern state regulate in the form of official discourses like
government policies and program which only get into the right state where people have the
potential to use them in an effective way(Smith, Giacon, and McLean, 2018). Then there is the
evaluation of genocide , it is the next level form of exclusion which either replace with death or

landless situation. In which form the people could commit suicide and being into mental health
and could not survive the long which shows a country is a least developed all. The deployed
activity shows the powers are in the hand of people but are not indigenous. There are two forms
of techniques inclusive and exclusive through which the plant claim by the people which is
divided among the category into traditional and modern form of law. This process of claim is for
the urban public space and for Northern territory where somehow there is acquisition of
traditional rights which become a common law for Australia native title. In the other category
which is excluded in which no one the land of no one applies(Sullivan, 2019). They do not have
the right to occupy their land and fails for legal recognition due to inability integrated by law.
Native title of Australia shows the truth of perpetual landlessness. The whole issue shows that
the civilizing process is better than the civilizing process. For indigenous people and the people
who could not have benefit of modernity the civilizing process works for social and Human
Sacer category in order to provide the right to the victim bye proper Research and there way
back. There is a concept of women's liquid modernity which is a planning to eliminate the flaws
from ideological behaviour from modernity and eliminate all the waste life captures which can
make the future better. By focusing on the flow of dynamics into modernity that shows time
space and place all into intensity for indigenous people(Stead, and Altman, 2019). The issue was
supposed to be addressed the impact of Tsunami which is held in Australia on 26 December
2004 that comes with a hope to humanity for all. Genocide in the form of violin which we come
in history because there is no hope for modernization and acknowledge number of. These are the
number which do not have any existence and come and amazing testimony due to having no
witness for the massacre. There are many hotels and consequences come around in order to
remove indigenous children it is the type of state in which the identity of genocides character is
not accepted by Australian courts. The Australia comes under Formal contact with the European
countries in the eighth 18th century the doctrine of Terra nullius comfort 1788 which plane that
not traditional land will be occupy on pre contract basis and the indigenous people become
homeless in regards of law or and could not refuse to the possible changes of modernity. The
common law title was confronted into to native title act 1993. This act shows deconstruction;
only the specific rights could be recognised in the common law of Australia. if the people have
land from 200 years ago the land of no one could be still execute for this game that has no proof
and right of interest off the custom legacy. For that instance the proof of genocide was not

enough to fulfil the requirement of society. In order to follow traditional customs the claim of
native title needs to be on the basis of association and national law.
CONCLUSION
From the above report, it has concluded that colonization is required to developed a country into
modern way and eliminate the wastage and improper rules and regulations in order to make life
of people more secure. But it impact negative on Australia due to non surveillance and
acceptable laws of land for no one which impact on the indigenous people of the country and
remain always underdeveloped. Australia is known for making their own rules which are
separated from other democratic country and create discriminate between white and black people
for that instance, the country e could not come up with the best policies and government controls.
