| Summary |
"Continued connection to land and country is of profound social and cultural significance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Since the landmark 1992 Mabo decision the modern land rights movement has given way to a complicated and protracted legal process created to resolve claims of pre-existing rights and interests in relation to land and waters. The recent successful Noongar claim over metropolitan Perth has brought into focus the practical and symbolic complexities of native title. What is the history of land rights and native title in Australia, and what is the difference between the two? What is the process of native title applications and land use agreements, and what are their impacts on those with interests in the land under claim? The federal Government is currently proposing reforms to the litigious native title system what are they, and what is their impact on the cultural, social and financial status of the first Australians and the nation as a whole?" -- Publisher's website |
