Native Title's Vulnerability In Australia
In the Mabo decision, the High Court found native title vulnerable to the actions of governments, including their ability to extinguish native title by granting other interests in the land.
However, the Racial Discrimination Act does provides some protection for indigenous peoples.
It requires governments to deal with native title in the same way as other property rights, including the payment of compensation if native title is extinguished or impaired.
