Today, 3 June, we celebrate Mabo Day. 💙💚🤍🖤

This day honours Uncle Eddie Koiki Mabo, a proud Meriam man from the island of Mer, whose relentless pursuit of justice led to the landmark decision that ended the two-century-long lie of Australia belonging to no one (terra nullius).

In 1982, Mabo, alongside a group of Eastern Torres Strait Islander people, challenged the idea that his family’s traditional land was owned by the Crown.

After 10 long years, on 3 June 1992, the High Court of Australia ruled that the country was not 'terra nullius'.

This historic ruling acknowledged the unique and ongoing relationship Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have with their Country and paved the way for Native Title.

Although the struggle for Native Title continues, Mabo’s victory was a monumental step forward for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Sadly, Uncle Eddie Mabo did not live to see this triumph - he passed away five months prior to the ruling.

Throughout his life, he was an activist and a unionist, significantly contributing to the 1967 referendum campaign as well.

Mabo Day is about truth and recognition.
It’s a reminder that this land always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
