In response to the original poster (three years ago), it's said in the story Four to Doomsday, therefore we have a page for it. Tegan calls them Australian aborigines once, and the Doctor calls them aborigines several times. Bigon calls them an ethnic group, so we even have a definition. Jo mentions the word in Death of the Doctor. And there are prose, comic and audio stories that feature aborigines. By the definition of this wiki, the word merits a page.
