Tbf I don’t think many public schools here would go straight up terra nullius rhetoric nowadays, but the fundamentals of how the First Peoples here relate with and cultivate the land are still poorly covered, and weren’t even addressed when I was at school.
Yeah, I don’t remember Terra Nullis being a part of the curriculum when I was in school, but I do remember a lot of people my age and older stating it as a “matter of fact.”
It does seem to have shifted to the standard “They didn’t use the land effectively” which was taught when I was in school.
