What is the limits of native title?Show answer
Native title is not the same as full ownership. Claimants must prove a continuing connection to Country under traditional law and custom, a demanding test that disadvantages communities whose connection was forcibly broken by removal and dispossession. Native title can be extinguished by freehold grants and other dealings, and it confers a bundle of rights that may be limited to access, hunting or ceremony rather than exclusive possession. Many Aboriginal people therefore argue that native title delivers recognition without full justice, and that treaty and a constitutionally enshrined Voice are needed to complete the work.
