Why was the doctrine of Terra Nullius applied to aboriginal Australians?
Terra Nullius means "land that belongs to no-one".This applied to indigenous Australians from the time James Cook charted the eastern coast because the British did not recognise that the indigenous people of Australia were the rightful "owners" of the land. Because the Aborigines were seen as little more than black savages, the British considered that Australia belonged to no-one and that it was within their right to claim the land as their own, and to do with it (and its people) whatever they wished.The British sought to expand their empire, and so they applied the doctrine of 'terra nullius' to Australia as that gave them the right to claim and occupy the continent.
Why do the Australians speak english?
Australians speak English primarily due to the British colonization of Australia in the late 18th century, when English settlers established the first colonies.

Who were the first Australians not including aboriginals?
The first known Australians, excluding the indigenous people of Australia, were the convicts, officers and marines of the First Fleet. However, these people could not be said to be Australians, as they considered themselves British through and through. Whilst the continent received many visitors from other countries prior to British settlement, none of them stayed.Among the British and other permanent settlers in Australia, the term Australian was not applied for decades. In the early years, those born in the country were called "currency lads and lasses". Australia as a country was not formed until 1901, so in effect, there were no Australian citizens until that time.
