“It was unheard of for a single person to change the whole history of a nation and for Dad to do that, it was an awakening call to Australia to say ‘it’s time to right a wrong’ and embrace Indigenous people.” Gail Mabo #MaboDay www.indigenous.gov.au/stories/eddi...
🌿 Today, the NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) proudly honours the enduring legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo. The landmark 1992 Mabo Decision overturned the legal fiction of terra nullius, paving the way for the recognition of Native Title.

Today we honour Eddie Mabo's courage in challenging the lie of terra nullius. His victory recognized what First Nations people always knew - this land was never empty. On #MaboDay, we commit to the unfinished business of Truth, Treaty and justice.
Rest in the peace of the Ancestors Koki #Mabo– happy #MaboDay especially to the most Australian people of all: youtu.be/TjQw2BbLwrs?...
Mabo Day is a reminder that the path to a stronger, smarter future is grounded in acknowledging history, amplifying voices, and walking together toward lasting change.
