The Best of Lateline Mabo myths

Summary: The High Court's Mabo Decision in late 1992 was probably the most significant legal decision ever made by an Australian court. Sadly though, it led to widespread scaremongering by sections of the community and the so-called 'Mabo Myths' put Aboriginal spokespeople firmly on the back foot. Lateline carefully examines the myths related to the security of various types of land title in Australia and, as one observer said, 'admirably clarifies the decision and its meaning for all Australians'.
