Native Title Legal Challenges
Summary
The Yorta Yorta case requires continuous observance of traditional laws for native title, contrasting with Mabo (No. 2), which recognized Indigenous land rights. Mabo overturned terra nullius, while Yorta Yorta set stricter proof requirements, impacting future claims. Convicts in 1788 were under British law but had limited rights. Cable v Sinclair established maritime salvage rights. Indigenous Australians were subject to British law post-R v Murrell. Legal remedies for lost parcels involve proving negligence.Full Conversation
What dichotomy is set up with the two cases with respect to colonisers and colonised?

This case established that Indigenous Australians were subject to British law, reflecting the imposition of colonial legal systems over existing Indigenous laws and customs.
