Today is Mabo Day, which marks the anniversary of the historic Mabo decision.
Our communities have been made stronger because of the collaboration that Native Title has brought about.
Let's take the next step towards a reconciled Australia through the Voice, together. https://t.co/ehC4GFnoxS
Today marks 31 years since the historic Mabo ruling overturning terra nullius – that Australia was once land belonging to no one.
We remember the dedicated work of Eddie Mabo, whose fundamental role in fighting for and achieving this ruling now sees today marked as “Mabo Day”. https://t.co/Uh1cDVaW7A

Today is Mabo Day. On this day in 1992 the High Court of Australia delivered a landmark decision overturning the legal fiction of terra nullius, paving the way for Native Title. Today we remember a great Australian and his cultural and human rights legacy.

It’s #Mabo day today. The Mabo case ran for ten years. On 3 June 1992, the High Court of Australia held that terra nullius was incorrectly applied to Australia. Let this decision echo across this continent as it reminds you that we are still here & have never ceded sovereignty.
On Mabo Day, I take this opportunity to thank native title holders who do their best for kin and country. With recent events in Central Australia, I particularly thank Lhere Artepe for helping bring peace and stability to Alice Springs. https://t.co/99R3GHfcIf
