	Mabo v Queensland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (commonly known as Mabo) was a landmark Australian court case which was decided by the High Court of Australia on June 3, 1992.
		Although Mabo was litigated within the legal context of property law, the decisions clearly had much wider implications which have still to be determined.
		In response to the Mabo judgment and to the subsequent and potential reactions, the Australian Federal Parliament (then controlled by the Labor Party led by Paul Keating) enacted the Native Title Act 1993.

	Eddie Mabo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mabo was born in 1936 on Mer Island (also known as Murray Island), one of the Torres Strait Islands.
		This proved to be an important turning point in his life, for Eddie Mabo became the spokesperson for the Torres Strait Islander gang on the railroads, and in that capacity he frequently interacted with white Australian trade union officials.
		Three years after Eddie Koiki Mabo died, that being the traditional mourning period for the people of Murray Island, a gathering was held in Townsville for a memorial service.

	Mabo vs Queensland - a question of morality
		In 1992 Mabo Vs Queensland case, the High Court was asked determine whether Queensland's annexation of the Torres Strait in 1879 had extinguished native title on the islands.

		The Mabo vs Queensland judgement was the culmination of this activism.

	FWB, July 1993
		Mabo overturned the fallacy of equating sovereignty with beneficial ownership of land (the criteria for determining "beneficial" use, of course, being defined unilaterally by the European colonizers).
		Thus, despite the gains made under the Mabo ruling, most Aboriginal peoples in Queensland are boycotting the state's Land Rights legislation and are now actively seeking ancestral domain through the courts, suing to assert their indigenous nationhood.
		Although Mabo acknowledged that Aboriginal occupancy of the land was "beneficial" (while Aboriginal title remained under Crown sovereignty), it did not take the next logical step and assert the continued existence of Aboriginal sovereignty.

	FWB, July 1993
		Mabo died before the High Court issued its historic 1992 decision, Mabo v The State of Queensland, 66 ALJR 408 (hereafter referred to as "Mabo").
		There are requirements for gaining legal recognition of land claims, however, and these stipulate that the peoples must demonstrate continuous observance of their laws or customs according to the traditions of the relevant clan or group, and substantial maintenance of traditional connection with the land.
		The Mabo judgment arguably can be broadened beyond real property rights to extend to "intellectual property rights." According to Mabo, communal indigenous title and intellectual property survive so long as indigenous peoples remain identifiable communities living under their own laws and culture.

	Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand History:
		Margaret Stephenson begins her article with the clearest, most succinct, exposition of the Mabo judgement to be found in the book.
		From her summary of the judgement, she goes on to suggest, along lines similar to Robin O'Hair, that the form of native title recognised in Mabo may offer Aborigines less security of tenure than the statutory titles already available under the Aboriginal Lands Acts of various states.
		With the Mabo judgement bearing all indications of remaining a matter of public, political, academic and legal disputation for years to come, this book should continue to hold widespread interest.

	Encyclopedia of the World's Minorities
		The name Edward Mabo will forever be linked to native title and land rights in Australia, as it was Mabo (1936-1992), a Torres Strait Islander, who successfully challenged the Queensland government and established beyond doubt, that, he did in fact own his traditional family land on Murray (Mer) Island, in the Torres Strait.
		Mabo was a man of enormous energy and vision, coupled with passionate and unwavering opinions, that, while putting many offside, enabled him to single mindedly challenge the existing status quo and relentlessly pursue his ten year struggle for justice against the Queensland government.
		Mabo married Bonita Nehow in 1959, whom he had met in Innisfail while cutting sugar cane, and they settled in Townsville and raised a family.

	Native Title
		In the historic Mabo decision they recognised that the prior rights of Aborigines and Torres Strait islanders were similar to those of indigenous groups in other parts of the world.
		Instead in the public eye "Mabo", "Wik" and "Native Title" have tended to be rolled into a single issue, understood more in the broad terms of any given individuals perception of whether aborigines in general have been well or badly done by rather than in terms of the content of the decisions themselves.
		The Mabo decision was handed down by the full bench of the High Court of Australia in June 1992, after protracted proceedings in Queensland courts concerning indigenous rights in the Torres Straits.
