Eddie Mabo & Ors v The State of Queensland (No.2) : ウィキペディア英語版
Mabo v Queensland (No 2)

''Mabo v Queensland (No. 2)'' (commonly known as ''Mabo'') was a landmark High Court of Australia decision recognising native title in Australia for the first time. The High Court rejected the doctrine of ''terra nullius'', in favour of the common law doctrine of Aboriginal title, and overruled ''Milirrpum v Nabalco Pty Ltd'' (1971), a contrary decision of the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory.
==The case==
The action which brought about the decision had been led by Eddie Mabo, David Passi and James Rice, all from the Meriam people (from the Murray islands in the Torres Strait). They commenced proceedings in the High Court in 1982, in response to the Queensland Amendment Act 1982 establishing a system of making land grants on trust for Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders, which the Murray Islanders refused to accept. The Plaintiffs were represented by Ron Castan, Bryan Keon-Cohen and Greg McIntyre.
The action was brought as a test case to determine the legal rights of the Meriam people to land on the islands of Mer, Dauar and Waier in the Torres Strait, which were annexed to the state of Queensland in 1879. Prior to British contact the Meriam people had lived on the islands in a subsistence economy based on cultivation and fishing. Land on the islands was not subject of public or general community ownership, but was regarded as belonging to individuals or groups.
In 1985 the Queensland Government attempted to terminate the proceedings by enacting the Queensland Coast Islands Declaratory Act 1985, which declared that on annexation of the islands in 1879, title to the islands was vested in the state of Queensland "freed from all other rights, interests and claims whatsoever".〔(Queensland Coast Islands Declaratory Act 1985 (Qld) )〕 In ''Mabo v Queensland (No 1)'' (1988) 〔Mabo v Queensland (1989) 166 CLR 186 (AustLill )〕 the High Court held that this legislation was contrary to the Racial Discrimination Act 1975.
The plaintiffs sought declarations, ''inter alia'', that the Meriam people were entitled to the Murray Islands "as owners; as possessors; as occupiers; or as persons entitled to use and enjoy the said islands".
*Plaintiff's arguments: The plaintiff argued for a possessory title by reason of long possession.
*Defendant's arguments: The Queensland government argued that when the territory of a settled colony became part of the Crown's dominions, the law of England became the law of the colony and, by that law, the Crown acquired the "absolute beneficial ownership" of all land in the territory.
