Abstract

This year is the 10th anniversary of the High Court’s decision in Mabo [No 2]. This paper presents a potted version of what has occurred over the past decade and then a more detailed summary of what has happened over the past year, including recent native title and cultural heritage cases and legislative amendments and their impact on both onshore and offshore petroleum explores and producers. It also looks at the issues likely to be considered by the High Court in the long-awaited decision in the Miriuwung Gajerrong (Ward) case.
