5203 |a“From the time it was first settled by non-Aboriginals, Australia was considered to be terra nullius in colonial law and policy. No treaties were negotiated with the Aboriginal inhabitants. The British colonial office gradually developed policy with respect to Aborigines in the 1830s and 1840s, but the initiatives were not pursued by the colonial governments, which gained responsible government between 1866 and 1890. The federal constitution of 1901 prevented the national government from legislating on Aboriginal issues. From the 1960s on, however, national government became the major initiator of Aboriginal policy. Indigenous issues are at the forefront of national debate. The recognition of Native title by the High Court in the Mabo case in June 1992 has created scope for wider changes, including the possibility of reaching regional agreements on the Canadian model. Discussion of constitutional reform and the establishment of a republic involve consideration of the whole range of relations between Aborigines and the state. Many relevant questions are being considered by the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation, established in September 1991"--Executive summary, p. [3, 4].
