The Wire

This weekend marked the 15th anniversary of the High Court’s decision in the Mabo case – a judgement that overturned the historic presumption of terra nullius and recognised for the first time under common law, that Australia’s Indigenous peoples had entitlements to their traditional lands, according to their laws and customs. Anna Vidot discussd the impact of this landmark court case for all Australians with Ray Minniecon, the Director of the Aboriginal Crossroads Mission at Redfern in Sydney, and the President of the National Native Title Tribunal, Graeme Neate.
