30 Years since Mabo: Australia and Indigenous Land Rights - 30 Jahre Mabo: Australien und die indigenen Landrechte

from SBS German - SBS Deutsch

It's been 30 years since the Mabo ruling in Australia - what about indigenous rights? In fact, when Captain James Cook took possession of Australia for the British Crown, he did so on the assumption that the country was "Terra Nullius" - a no man's land. The British ignored the fact that a number of indigenous peoples had already settled the continent. But exactly 30 years ago, the indigenous Eddie Mabo managed to have this declared null and void in court. But what has happened since then for Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders? - 30 Jahre ist es her seit dem Mabo-Urteil in Australien – wie steht es um die indigenen Rechte? Tatsache ist: Als Kapitän James Cook Australien für die britische Krone in Besitz nahm, tat er dies unter der Annahme, das Land sei „Terra Nullius“ – ein Niemandsland. Dass etliche indigene Völker den Kontinent bereits besiedelten, wurde von den Briten ignoriert. Aber vor genau 30 Jahren gelang es dem Indigenen Eddie Mabo, dies vor Gericht für nichtig erklären zu lassen. Doch was hat sich seitdem für die Aboriginal People und Bewohner der Torres-Straße getan?
