First Week of 48th Parliament and Pabai v Commonwealth of Australia

Dana and Will have a look at how the first week in office has set the tone of the historic 48th Australian Federal Parliament. They also discuss two recent cases around Native Title. One, an unsuccessful lawsuit brought by Uncles Pabai Pabai and Paul Kabai. These elders from the Torres Strait Islands lost their bid to sue the commonwealth government for negligence in failing to meet their duty of care to prevent damages from climate change. The other, a historic court decision that acknowledged the Millewa-Mallee's native title claim, including areas with exclusive rights for traditional owners.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
