Summary:

"This comprehensive and authoritative work provides the reader with an understanding of both the current operation of native title in Australia, and its historical and political background and development. It covers the nature of the concept, and explains the proof, content and extinguishment of native title. It examines the validation of past grants and acts, and the limited degree of protection from future acts; compensation for native title; and the application of native title principles to resource development and traditional pursuits. It considers both the common law and the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). The fifth edition of this highly regarded work includes discussion on: the consistent recognition of exclusive possession, use and enjoyment; the impact of the decisions in Northern Territory v Griffiths (HCA, 2019) and Yunupingu v Commonwealth (FCAFC, 2023) on compensation; the increasing use of consent determinations, including the Noongar South West Native Title Settlement (2016); the implications of TJIWARL and TJIWARL (No 2) (FCAFC, 2018) (BHP case) in undermining the Native Title Act future act process; the significance of the decision in Western Australia v Manado (HCA, 2020) confirming existing public access to and enjoyment of beaches on native title land; the greater adherence to principles of equality by the courts, especially as to extinguishment. Native Title in Australia provides an ideal basis for both undergraduate and postgraduate study of native title and related Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues, and is a reliable and informative source for practitioners, researchers and government bodies requiring current information in this area. Features: complex topics are explained clearly and succinctly without over-simplification; critically examines native title principles as applied in the contemporary environment; engages readers to explore how native title principles are applied in practice; updated to include developments in legislation and case law."--Publisher's website.
