Molly was born into a world dependent on technology such as cell phones, computers and tablets. Davis falls in the middle of Gardner and Molly as she transitioned from childhood to adolescence without the dependency of technology but…

It is hailed as a momentous victory by the Indigenous rights movement. 1993: On November 16, the Native Title Act is tabled in Federal Parliament in response to the Mabo ruling. After 111 hours of debate, the longest in 92 years of Senate history, the bill passes. It recognises native title in situations where Indigenous people have maintained a connection with land and waters. Examine their overall experience in the 20th century: Throughout…

for their land rights with the High Court of Australia. The case was know as the 'Mabo Case' as Eddie Mabo was the first named claimant. The legal doctrine of native title was inserted into the Australian law: 'In recognizing the traditional rights of the Meriam people to the islands in the Torres Strait, the Court also held that native title existed for all Indigenous peoples in Australia who held rights in their lands under their own laws and customs prior to the assertion of British…

history, many actions are often viewed as diabolical or horrible. Oftentimes, they are; communities, local and worldwide, will look on in horrified shock when they see deplorable actions, including the mortal sins of rape and murder. In Richard Wright’s Native Son, these two crimes are brought to the forefront, committed by 20-year-old black protagonist Bigger Thomas. By the end of Fear, Bigger has murdered the young white Mary Dalton, and halfway through Flight, Bigger has added another crime,…

foundation would be accessible without a dependence on the government. Indigenous economic, health, and social status will continue to suffer until access, ownership and control of land are granted – an issue that has been addressed by various Australian native title acts, land rights movements, and commissions in the past two decades but that have yet to be…

representatives from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community decided to litigate it in court until Mabo and others from Murray Island took initiative. Eddie Mabo 's campaign for civil rights succeeded through legislation such as the Mabo Decision, Native Title Act, and the Wik Decision. Their campaign was highly effective in the way of Aboriginal civil rights; the Mabo case and its subsequent outcomes became significant for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. The…
