Best Answer

Quite simply, Europeans had never come across the aboriginal people before. Australia is a relatively young country, having only been discovered by Europeans in the 1600s, and neither the Portuguese nor the Dutch showed sufficient interest in the continent to take the time to get to know the people. The Europeans perceived themselves as superior to the aboriginal people.
