About This Document
The Mabo decision given by the High Court had a profound impact on Australia in which the land rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander were recognised. On 3rd June 1992, Mabo decision was made by the High Court in which it was decided that terra nullius should not be applied to Australia. After this case, the Native Title Act 1993 was enacted by the government in which the procedure was given which can be used by indigenous people to claim their rights on the land. In this essay, benefits and shortcomings of the Mabo decision and the Native Title Act, 1993 will be discussed. This essay will analyse whether this landmark decision had been a success or did it fail in achieving its objectives.
