It’s a bittersweet victory for traditional owners whose native title rights over more than 300,000 hectares of land in south-east Queensland have been recognised in the Federal Court.

The Kabi Kabi Traditional Owners’ non-exclusive rights to an area of 10,280 square kilometres along the Sunshine Coast were recognised in Brisbane on Monday.

In handing down her decision Justice Berna Collier said Kabi Kabi people “have and always have had native title rights and interests in this country”. “That gives us our rights to go back and utilise, for our people to take timber ... to make boomerangs or spears,” he said.Warner said the right to take resources from the land was also a way of caring for country.“It’s not about the over-demand or over-supply of resources, it’s about protecting those resources.”
