Abstract
In 1992, the High Court of Australia handed down the Mabo decision. In 1993 the Keating Government enacted the Native Title Act. And in 2019, the QLD government granted freehold mining titles to Adani on the land of the Wangan and Jagalingou people. This legal battleground represents a culmination of the long-known issues surrounding Native Title – What is it? Is it fair? What should it be? And how can a Native Title claim just be extinguished?
