As an Australian I've only ever heard and understood the term "First Australians" to mean the aboriginal / indigenous population, and don't recall ever associating it with "the first fleet".
Two potential reasons for this:
- Sensitivity to the way the aboriginals were treated by the british colonists (which is using overly 'polite' terminology)
- Sensitivity to the 'populated by criminals' stereotype of Australia.
- Terr_ 2y ago> Sensitivity to the 'populated by criminals' stereotype of Australia. Or the supposed threat from Sicilians when death is on the line.
