[lg policy] University of New South Wales' new terminology guide tells students Britain 'invaded' Australia

[Dave Sayers]

Students are being encouraged to use the term "invaded" rather than "settled" or 
"discovered", and avoid the word "Aborigines".

The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Indigenous Terminology guide states that 
Australia was "invaded, occupied and colonised".

But UNSW says it does not mandate what language can and cannot be used.

"It uses a more appropriate, less appropriate format," a UNSW spokesperson said in a 
statement to the BBC.
