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.

Australia is a Commonwealth country, meaning that it is an original colony of the British Empire.

It is this doctrine that applied British law to the colonies and the land of Australia which was found to have been wrongly administered in the 1992 decision of the Mabo Case.
