10.01.2022 Today we commemorate Eddie ‘Koiki’ Mabo, a Torres Strait Islander man, whose campaign for Indigenous #landrights led to overturning 200 years of Terra Nullius. ... On 3 June 1992, the landmark High Court Mabo Decision granted land rights to the Meriam people, the Traditional Owners of the Murray Islands (which include the islands of Mer, Dauer and Waier) in the #TorresStrait. The ILSC was established in June 1995, in response to the #MaboDecision, to assist Indigenous people to acquire land, water and water related rights and manage it to provide economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits for themselves and future generations. The #Mabo family as well as the other Mabo Decision plaintiffs, Reverend David Passi, Celuia Mapoo Salee, Sam Passi and James Rice, dedicated their lives to the land rights of their home #MurrayIsland and the ILSC are proud of the achievements that they have all made for Indigenous Australians, past and present.
