Yesterday, Sloan Jackson, age 18 was put on trial for stealing a shirt from Famous Fashions in Merchandise Mall. He supposedly ran out of the store with a lump (which was the same color as the stolen shirt) in his jacket to go to Record Mart because there was a big sale going on. He then was found sitting next to the yogurt stand and the shirt was found in a trash barrel near the yogurt stand. He then ran away from the security guard but he was in the end caught and brought back to the store to return the shirt. At the trial yesterday the jury came to a verdict of being guilty after talking in the jury room for about 10 minutes.

The Mabo decision of the high court in 1992 is vastly significant as it marks history as the victory of indigenous Australian land rights against the federal government, who had colonised their land and refused to acknowledge that Australia was originally owned by the ATSI people but became a terra nullius land due to the European colonists. The events that have occurred before 1992 such as the The Aboriginal Land Rights Act (NT) of 1976 and the bark petition is deemed less significant than the Mabo decision. I firmly believe that the Mabo case is an extraordinary achievement. it started in 1982 when Eddie Mabo brought up a case against the supreme court of Queensland that Indigenous Australians should have land rights. After almost a whole
The Mabo Decision was the turning point for the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander rights. Firstly, the Mabo Decision was significant because the decision was the lead up to the recognition of Aboriginal Rights. The Mabo Decision was the movement that made everyone fully recognise the Aboriginal people as humans, and official citizens of the country. The Decision also raised awareness to the discrimination the Aboriginal people were facing before the referendum.
The Mabo decision was a legal case held in Australia 1992, which left a significant effect on Indigenous Australians lives. Eddie Mabo’s case was the first step to Indigenous people gaining all land rights and gave a feeling of reinstate from the home land that was once lost. Known as the ‘Mabo & others v Queensland case (No.2)’. The Mabo decision was the apex of a legal battle started ten years earlier by a group of Indigenous Australians from the Torres Strait Islands of Mer to reattain their long-established ownership of the Murray Islands. The Mabo decision was named after Eddie Mabo, the man who challenged Australia’s legal system and fought for recognition of the rights of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders as traditional owners
In Australia the Europeans took over all the land that the Aboriginals had owned for over 40,000 years. They had lost their livelihood, living in dumps and small humpies, no where near a safe or healthy environment. The indigenous people were treated very inhumanely; being told where they can go, where they can’t go and who they can have relationships with. Of course they grew extremely angry and something drastic needed to
The descriptions of the area are dire racism, depression, violence and crime, mental illness and radical youth are just some features. The health conditions are also bad although Kaukab needs surgery urgently, there is no place at the hospital, and because of the overcrowded immigrant quarters and poor nutrition, tuberculosis has reappeared when the British authorities had thought that the illness was eradicated in the 1960s.
The Ngunnawal People have been living within the borders and surrounding mountains of the Australian Capital Territory for over 25,000 years. The way the Indigenous people used the land to live off was extremely efficient and sustainable. They had a bounty of knowledge about the land surrounding them, and over generations, devised resourced management skills to ensure maintenance of the animals and plants, and most importantly, the land in which provided these things. Aboriginal culture existed long before Captain Cook arrived in Australia in 1770. He claimed the land to be "Terra-Nullius", meaning that the land did not belong to any person.
I would recommend the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Bespeaker) because it is the most felicitous one, in terms of what the railroad amalgamations are probing for which are focused introverts, compared to the other assessments. The MBTI is designed to provide prodigious amounts of information about individual's predilections and their personalities predicated on a four dimension scale (Extroversion versus Introversion, Sensing versus Intuition, Cerebrating versus Feeling and Judging versus Perceiving). Additionally, it has been found subsidiary in presaging the prosperity of employees in their professional settings. This is precisely the type of test the railroad amalgamations are probing for to assess their employees for - focused and adept railroad
There are many times in life where a person’s actions, while dishonest, will not have a large effect on the lives of other people and can therefore be considered insignificant. However, this is not the case regarding Mayella Ewell, a young girl who lied during the testimony of her own rape case, leading to the wrongful conviction of the defendant, Tom Robinson. The following arguments will explain why Mayella should be held fully and solely responsible for her actions regarding the Tom Robinson case.
The policy of protection meant that Aboriginals must live where the white settlers tell them to which took the freedom of movement away. - Their relationship and empathy with the land had been damaged. Everything in the Aboriginal life became meaningless. - The aim to take the Aborignal’s land away was to destroy their religion and spiritual links.
Following the controversial definition of sovereignty, a popular argument emerged claiming ‘a nation cannot make a treaty with itself’ from former prime minister John Howard. With Howard’s highly influential status, this was quickly adopted by many Australians who insisted that Indigenous people are also Australians and therefore a treaty would divide the nation. However, Howard’s definition is based on an extremely narrow understanding of the terms ‘treaty’ and sovereignty. This misconception negatively affects the process of treaty-making as it creates unprecedented fear when in reality Indigenous people do not seek recognition of statehood. Therefore, as the controversial debate over the implications of sovereignty continues, the underlying issue must first be addressed: an embedded and outdated definition weaponised by the HCA to prevent progression in treaty-making.
I am here to talk about how customary law also can be known as the ATSI in Australian links to other indigences colonies around the world. And how the aboriginal Australian link to New Zealand Maori people and how they are linked to one another. Aboriginal societies, and which regulate human behaviour, mandate specific sanctions for non-compliance, and connect people with the land and with each other, through a system of relationships. Some of the different laws between indigenous colonies around the world are that aboriginal. So of the links between customary law in Australia and the US is that they are both the “supreme law of rights and laws for the indigenous people of the land.
Q.2 The High Court of Australia in the celebrated case of Mabo v State of Queensland (No 2) (1992) decided that native title is recognised at common law and that indigenous inhabitants have rights to traditional lands. i. Discuss what Native Title is. ii. Discuss the basis of a claim for the recognition of Native Title pursuant to Section 223 of the Native Title Act.
European colonisation led to the loss of land for the First Nations Peoples of Australia for many reasons. Aboriginal people had a strong connection with the land, and the colonists wanted to take that away, the ideas of Terra Nullius made the colonists think it was okay and the loss of land had a tremendous impact on the Aboriginal people and made it hard to live. The Aboriginal people had a deep connection with the land, but the colonists wanted to take this away from them. While Europeans believed that they owned the land they lived on, the Aboriginal people thought that the land owned them, that ‘the land is [their] mother’.
