The notion that the indigenous peoples of Australia had their own form of law was rejected by the British,[39] and from the time of white settlement Aborigines were subjected to English law.
The failure of Australian law to recognise the possibility of Aboriginal native title (to land) lasted until 1992, when the High Court held that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples retained common law rights to land, providing that these were not 'extinguished' by later Australian laws. Mabo v Queensland (No 2).[40] .
