Talk:Native Title Act 1993

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Native Title Act 1993/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This was a really poor attempt at explaining the Act that, despite being so short, contained numerous factual errors. Better leave this issue to someone who knows what they are talking about (someone who has at least read the Act and the Mabo decision). As it stood it would have been misleading and for that reason possibly offensive to Indigenous Australians. 58.110.93.151 10:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I propose that Native Title Amendment Act 1998 be merged into Native Title Act 1993. The Native Title Act has been further substantially amended in 2007 and 2009. I think that keeping all of the content in the one article will make the current & historical situation understandable it is then simply a matter of including sections for the two subsequent amendments, clearly identifying the particular intent of each change.. I don't expect it to be controversial but thought I would check first. Find bruce (talk) 04:13, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

It needs to be noted that original Native Title Act was a negotiated position between a group of Indigenous people and the Keating government. The subsequent amendments to the Act were mean spirited impositions with the purpose of watering down Indigenous people rights so that multinational corporations can have greater access to ancient sacred lands that the High Court of Australia recognised Indigenous people had prior and continuous right to claim as their own.
