Abstract

This article addresses aspects of the Commonwealth’s argument before the Full Federal Court in Yunupingu v Commonwealth (2023) to identify the incoherence of the State’s position and make a normative argument about the need for the State, after over 50 years of litigation, to adopt a more principled strategy in its engagements with First Peoples concerning land.
