Mabo v. Queensland | (1992) 175 CLR 1, 5; 107 A.L.R. 1; 1992 WL 1290806 (1992)

For centuries, European explorers claimed newly discovered territory, even though much of the territory was already occupied. In Mabo versus Queensland, the High Court of Australia considered what property rights native inhabitants retained after colonial annexation.

In eighteen seventy-nine, Queensland annexed the Murray Islands. The Meriam people had occupied the islands prior to European contact and continued to live there. Immigration by European settlers was highly restricted.

In nineteen ninety-two, Eddie Mabo, a Meriam land-rights activist, sued Queensland, seeking a declaration that the Meriam people continued to possess native title to their land.
