Aboriginal Rights In Australian history, Aboriginals have struggled exclusively in their pursuit to gain equality.

From the arrival of the first fleet, Aboriginals were harshly imposed with such laws that aimed at assimilating their culture with the Europeans. History has seen the barrier of Aboriginal customs, which did not perceive favorably with the racially dominant Caucasian race. But, this al altered with suffragists Vincent Lingiari, Eddie Mabo and The Wik people who tried to breakdown the barrier of land rights and who dominated history by bringing reform. Its seemed, in 1992, the Native Title Act would bring austerity to Aboriginal culture with the ability of the Indigenous to claim land after winning their case against the High Court in 1993. However, this article on Aboriginals being neglected of land rights adds to the perception of arrogance in reference to land rights. The article indicates the idea of the powerful non-indigenous bullying and exorcising force in an attempt to abuse the Native

Title Act 1992, which was championed by Mabo and saw Mer
Island being returned to its rightful owners. This article is at odds with recent reconciliation with the Indigenous and portrays the ruthless nature of mining companies and the way they manipulate the law so that they gain precedence and profit, ignoring all needs of Aboriginal people forbidding them to do so. And also, the viewpoint ad given by Professor Altman shows that even the government would be eager to neglect the Native Title Action order to win elections. This article heavily relates to how the non-Indigenous were portrayed in the early years of settlement; in how they are considered to use threatening antics in order to obtain the upper hand. And this is can be shown in the last paragraphs of the article, in hat, despite the
