Edward Mabo became famous for his pivotal role in the Australian legal case Mabo v Queensland (No 2), which he initiated to challenge the legal doctrine of terra nullius, the notion that Australia was unoccupied land before British colonization. His efforts, alongside others, led to the landmark decision by the High Court of Australia in 1992, recognizing the land rights of Indigenous Australians. This case fundamentally altered the legal landscape regarding Indigenous land rights in Australia and is celebrated as a significant milestone in the fight for Indigenous recognition and justice. Mabo's legacy continues to influence discussions on land rights and reconciliation in Australia.
