"Mabo v Queensland" was a landmark legal case in Australia decided by the High Court in 1992. It recognized the land rights of the Mabo people, specifically Eddie Mabo, who challenged the legal doctrine of terra nullius, which claimed that land was unowned before British colonization. The court's decision acknowledged the traditional land ownership of Indigenous Australians. The ruling led to the establishment of the Native Title Act 1993, allowing Indigenous Australians to claim rights to land based on their traditional laws and customs. This case was significant in reshaping the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the Australian legal system, promoting recognition and respect for their rights.
