    Today we celebrate the life and work of Eddie Mabo. On 3 June, 1993 the High Court ruled that Australia was not terra nullius or “land belonging to no-one". The ruling overturned a legal fiction and paved the way for land rights and Native Title. #MaboDay

    It’s an Australian story that as a nation we cannot be proud of, but it’s a story that cannot be ignored. Congratulations @BehrouzBoochani for winning the top #VPLA2019 prize. Great call @wheelercentre @DanielAndrewsMP & all involved.
