A warning to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers; this story contains images of people who've died. June 3rd is Mabo day. In the Torres Strait it's a public holiday and in the rest of Australia it's a chance to remember a man who had a big impact on Australia's history, Eddie ‘Koiki’ Mabo. This news report covers what would come to be known as the Mabo decision. Eddie did not live to see the final decision passed down from the High Court. Ten years after the case was first heard, at the age of 55, Eddie died from cancer. Five months later the High Court ruled in the plaintiff’s favour, expelling the notion of terra nullius from Australian law and paving the way for the creation of land rights legislation called Native Title.
