Native Title - When do we need to take it into account?

It is now nearly twenty years since the High Court, in its decision in Mabo No 2, revealed that, the native title rights and interests of indigenous Australians had survived the assertion of British sovereignty and were capable of existing in land and waters throughout Australia. The purpose of this paper is to revisit some basic ideas, processes and practices relating to native title and to consider those matters in the conditions that now prevail (primarily in New South Wales).

Presented by:
John Waters Sixth Floor Windeyer Chambers on Thursday 17 November 2011.

John Waters was called to the Bar in 1993 and practises from Sixth Floor Windeyer Chambers. He has acted and advised extensively in relation to native title and proceedings in which native title rights and interests are in issue. This includes final and interlocutory hearings as well as formal and informal mediation.
