Mabo faced many difficulties during his life. One of the difficulties Mabo had to overcome was when he was younger was getting expelled from his own land. At the time Australia thought Mabo’s land was Terra Nullias land, and belonged to
them to do with as they liked. Mabo spent about a decade fighting for the rights to his land in the
High Court of Australia

What Rights did he want for Indigenous People?
Eddie Mabo proved terra nullias wrong so when he was in Queensland he established whose land it was. The court case allowed all
indigenous people to claim land if they were using it. Unforunately, Mabo didn’t live to see that he got the land back and that he won the
case. Sunday, 6 July 14
