  • Terror Nullius

    The Molotov’s new track “Terror Nullius” comments on how “white Australia” treats its first people and rejects the lie that Australia was ever an empty land (terra nullius). With a pumping rock/dance beat, didgeridoo bass lines (from Dave-J), heavy guitars and spitfire lyrics, “Terror Nullius” calls on all Australians to fight for “a fair go” for Murri, Koori and all Indigenous Australians.
