As the sun sets on Country, we pause to reflect, remember, and honour the extraordinary legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo.
A proud Torres Strait Islander man from Mer Island, Eddie Mabo was a fearless warrior for land rights and justice. His determination and courage led to the historic 1992 High Court decision that recognised the traditional land rights of Indigenous Australians, overturning the false doctrine of terra nullius.
On this Mabo Day, 3 June, we celebrate his enduring impact and the strength, pride, and resilience of First Nations peoples.
Let us come together to honour this momentous milestone in our shared history and continue to walk the path of truth, justice, and reconciliation.
