No treaty with Australian aborigines – no legal ownership by British invaders?

Land ownership impacts on its inhabitants By Clive Dawson, The Courier, 17 Oct 13, “…….The doctrine of Terra Nullius literally land belonging to no-one meant Britain didn’t have to pay compensation or apologise to anyone for settling in Australia because there was nobody there to pay compensation or apologise to.

I wonder then who those Aboriginal people were who told Governor Phillips and his fleet which arrived at Botany Bay on January 18, 1871 to go home, and how can New Holland be part of the British Crown when Governor Phillips never signed any treaty with the Aboriginal elders on the 26 January 1788?

New Zealand had a treaty saying it belonged to the British Crown, so can the British government show the Australian people any treaty showing that Australia is part of the British empire?http://www.thecourier.com.au/story/1846991/land-ownership-impacts-on-its-inhabitants/?cs=64
