Title: Eddie Mabo Notes Subject: Australian Studies Eddie Mabo was a Torres Strait Islander who believed Australian laws on land ownership were wrong and fought to change them. The Mabo decision was named after Eddie Mabo , the man who challenged the Australian legal system and fought for recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners of their land. Terra Nullius “land belonging to no one”. 3rd June 1992 the High Court made a recognised that there were people in Australia and their descendants have rights. Native Title recognises Aboriginal and Torres strait Islanders rights and interests in relation to Land and Waters. On 3 June 1992, the High Court of Australia decided that terra nullius should not have been applied to Australia. This decision – known as the Mabo decision – recognised that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have rights to the land – rights that existed before the British arrived and can still exist today. The Mabo decision was a turning point for the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' rights, because it acknowledged their unique connection with the land. It also led to the Australian Parliament passing the Native Title Act in 1993.
