MABO

Twelve years ago the Australia High Court issued its landmark Mabo decision, which declared that Australian common law recognizes native land titles. For some coverage of celebrations of the decision, go here and here. On some of the political aftermath (particularly Australian critique of judicial activism, go here -- via here). The full text of the decision is available here (and here). For an overview of some of the developments in the law up to and since 1992, see this page from the Australian Parliament.
