The Mabo v Queensland (No. 2) decision was handed down in the High Court of Australia on 3 June 1992. ‘Mabo’—as it has come to be known—altered the foundation of land law in Australia. It provided official recognition of the inherent rights of Indigenous Australians to their traditional lands. The National Library of Australia holds an extensive collection of material relating to the Mabo decision and to its lead applicant, Edward Koiki Mabo.
To celebrate this anniversary, join Dr Terri Janke for a special lecture as she reflects on the effects Mabo decision 30 years on.
This event is free to attend, but bookings are essential.
For those unable to make it to Canberra for the event, it will be livestreamed online via the Library's Facebook page. No bookings are required to watch the online stream.
As part of recognising the anniversary, the National Library invited Gail Mabo, Mr Mabo’s daughter, to select material for display to acknowledge this landmark moment. Explore the display in the Library’s Treasures Gallery.
