About Eddie Mabo

Edward Koiki Mabo, a Meriam man from the island of Mer (Murray Island) in the Torres Straits, was a key plaintiff in a land rights case in the High Court of Australia, today referred to as the ‘Mabo Case’. His legacy is the case of where he challanged the Australian Government in the High court and won the case of land right in what is now know as the Mabo decision. The great battle lasted for 10 years, and in 1992 Eddie Mabo passed sucumbed to a battle with cancer and did not live to see his victory. This great journey has inspired many great leaders to carry on the battle and make sure the fire of his legacy continues to burn bright. For more about Eddie Mabo click HERE!
