ABSTRACT First Nations Peoples of this continent we now call Australia experienced the violence of colonialism for longer than the coloniser and now the Australian state is prepared to admit. A more than 150-year frontier war has been passed off as peaceful settlement. This was a lie. Terra nullius was another lie, if terra nullius was the truth why was there a frontier war. This war enabled the invasion and colonisation of Aboriginal lands. While ‘justice’ remains overdue, this paper examines how it is the Australian state has mythologised the rejection of terra nullius. And at the same time normalising the Australian colonial project. This paper considers how it is we might move beyond the colonial matrix of impossibility and ‘skeletal foundation.’

摘要 我们现在称为澳大利亚的这片大陆上的原住民比殖民者经历了更长时间的殖民主义暴力，现在澳大利亚政府准备承认。一场超过 150 年的边疆战争被当作和平解决来假冒。这是一个谎言。无主之地是另一个谎言，如果无主之地是真实的，为什么会有边疆战争。这场战争促成了原住民土地的入侵和殖民。虽然“正义”迟迟没有出现，但本文研究了澳大利亚政府如何将拒绝无主地神话化。同时使澳大利亚的殖民项目正常化。本文考虑了我们如何超越不可能和“骨骼基础”的殖民矩阵。
