Abstract | This article draws the light once again, in the current climate of political change, to the apparent error in the prevailing Australian thinking in native title jurisprudence and its unfolding consequences. It articulates the difficulties in a new and succinct way, and against a backdrop of relevant legal principle from the United States, Canada and New Zealand. It corners some of the historical preconceptions and intellectual traditions that may have contributed to the Australian methodology. And it demonstrates that, while the 'tradition' focus may be well ingrained in the Australian legal psyche, this is one instance in which the law must not be permitted to 'hide in shadows of its own making'. |
