Foucault, Whiteness, and Sovereignty

Now post-Mabo and the “death” of terra nullius, questions lay at the feet of the Australian state. What legitimises your entry? Do you still require the consent of the natives? And if we give it to you now what meaning will you or I give to that agreement? For who will hold the colonising state and its growing globalised identity to honour and respect our laws, territories and right to life? No one has in the past.

—Irene Watson, Aboriginal and the Sovereignty of Terra Nullius
