With the help of a borrowed `magic' watch, two teenagers Mary, a white Australian, and Johnno, an Indigenous Australian, experience some significant moments including both world wars, the Depression, and the High Court's Mabo decision. Reconciliation week runs from 27 May (the anniversary of the 1967 Referendum, when Australians voted to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the national census) to 3 June (the anniversary of the Mabo judgement in 1992, in which the High court recognised Native Title within the common law of Australia). But it took 204 years before the concept of terra nullius was rejected at law, in the High Court Mabo case of 1992, which also ruled that Aborigines who could demonstrate a `close and continuing relationship' with an area of land could have `native title' to it. |
