Summary

Wednesday June 3rd is Mabo Day and, much to the glee of Abbott and his ilk, it's becoming less and less significant in this country. On the 3rd June 1992, the High Court delivered a historic judgement that recognised that aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people had a right to land claim due to prior occupation. Only took 204 years. The consternation of the landed gentry was palpable and ignorant Aussies thought their back yards would be camped upon by indigenous Australians. Let's celebrate Mabo Day!
