It’s Mabo day!! 🌱 Eddie Koiki Mabo founded the Townsville Aboriginal Legal service, demanded service at venues that he as a Meriam man along with all First Nations people were banned from and famously made the High Court admit that terra nullius was a lie. 🌿 The land rights injustices continue and I thank @clothingthegaps for educational resources (like this great billboard I just saw on High St) and @senatorthorpe for her great Mabo post and continued education and inspiration! . . . #alwayswasalwayswillbeaboriginalland #maboday #landrights (at Wurundjeri Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUuP8Fvoc_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I salute Eddie Koike Mabo for overturning the legal fiction that Australia was terra nullius. Mer means "Good" in the Ende Dialect of East Trans Fly in PNG's Western Province. Eddie was from Mer Island - the good island #maboday2020 #MaboDay https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_3Qqdh2qT/?igshid=14r2d4zg0w1va

On this day 28 years ago (3rd June 1992) the High Court overturned the legal fiction of terra nullius, recognising the special relationship Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have with the land, and paving the way for Native Title. Today we remember Eddie Koiki Mabo and his cultural and human rights legacy, a great man and proud Mer Islander. #MABODAY #INDIGENOUSGRAPEVINE . . . . . #TorresStraitIslander #TSIpride #ZenadthKes TorresStraitFlag #TSIFLAG #TorresStrait #NativeTitle #FirstNationsPeople #FirstNationsPerson #FirstNations #Aboriginal #inthistogether #inthistogether2020 #Indigenous #reconciliationweek #nrw2020 #art @reconciliationaus #nationalreconciliationweek (at Indigenous Grapevine.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA9cVzIp3_u/?igshid=1sb5nlk94x5z7
