Description
It has been more than 20 years since the Mabo decision. In that time, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians have gone down the long and legalistic road to become native title holders. But it isn’t enough to have native title; you also have to have the freedom to exercise its cultural and economic value. Tim Wilson has made it a priority of his term to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to ensure that the legal, regulatory and business environment gives native title holders the equal capacity and flexibility to exercise their property rights. He will speak about this process, that is, to ensure consenting native title holders can exercise their property rights and not compromise the protection of the inherent legal rights of Indigenous Australians.
