When five Indigenous groups came together on a native title claim, their traditional singing was crucial evidence. Now they're celebrating a landmark legal outcome.

"What Koiki Mabo was saying [was that] the prawn, the cray, the 'trochas' belong to me and my people. So we don't talk about the water. We talk about the reef and the sea floor. What's there is belong to us.

"If the coral is born on the reef, on the ocean, and we born on the land, so we all related, if we call ourself a traditional owner.

Brian Williams, a traditional owner from Ugar Island, also sees the Great Barrier Reef as a "sea highway"."Within the Barrier we've got a name, we call it 'Goli Goli', which means the Black Sea, and you've got 'ad-nor', which goes outside of the Barrier," he says. "So they used the inner side to go down and at night they'll come back on the outside of the Barrier."

Some really fragile people on this thread. I didn’t realise how hard white people have it

Rubbish

It's a blatant lie and I'll fight it. Title cannot be proven in any court of law. Aboriginals had no written language or records other than hearsay and not admissible in a court of law. This proves the Justice system is grossly corrupt

Traditional Aboriginal People: 'We don't own the land, the land owns us' Aboriginal People 2023: 'We own the land and ban White Fella's from it, so we can live Traditional Lives in our brick houses with tinnies & outboard motors, guns and fishing rods'. What a scam.

Getting ridiculous. How about the birds in the air, are they claiming those too? VoteNOAustralia

Now that they own 50% of the land mass they can sell off the rights to China and make big bucks.

Wait till Albo adds his voice.

“all the resources, all the fishes in the sea belongs to me & my people” That is fundamentally wrong & if you think otherwise then you are going to so learn that there is a flip side to that.

Fantastic. Incredible wealth to be earned. Now they won't need government money. Can now be spent on hospitals etc.

“It is the first time a native title claim has brought together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians to achieve joint native title outcomes. The evidence submitted was so compelling, the native title claim was accepted without the need for a trial.”

At this stage everything will be controlled by Aboriginals and we will have to pay for permits to enter their territory. Have a look at the appalling way they treat their country now and you worry about the future. It’s time to say NO as we are all Australians

So Aboriginals had law ?

waverton bowling club too

Another victory for the ABC and white champagne socialists, another loss for the next generation of working class Aussies

More ‘traditional hunting’ of turtles in tinnies with outboard motors?

Constantly pushing Anti white Agenda while sucking the taxpayers dry , pushing native Agenda down listeners ears no wonder it’s Alwsys last in rating , in out club it’s permanently off , came LAST in poll both radio and television, u should have the unprintable comments

I’m sure all the non western will respect these boundaries

‘Seeded to a cohort of Indigenous activists’: Our sovereignty voting ‘yes’ to the VoiceSky News host Rowan Dean says if you vote ‘yes’ to the Voice to Parliament, you are voting for a treaty and “sovereignty of this nation” to be “seeded to a cohort of indigenous activists”. “You are seeding sovereignty, you are seeding your property rights, you are seeding your future income or a portion of it to an amorphous group known as the Indigenous Australians,” Mr Dean told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “They are the activist class.” No Kidding 🤷‍♂️ That’s an outright lie!
