Implications Of Mabo
The High Court's Mabo decision has had a profound effect on the whole nation; its aftershocks are still rolling across the country.
The Court's rejection of terra nullius, and recognition of native title, has generated frantic legislative activity, intense political debate, and a vast amount of media and academic attention.
It fundamentally altered the legal, political and social relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people: and, in recognising the traditional rights of Murray Islanders, it changed Australia forever.
