Talk:Native title in Australia

message: This article confuses 'land rights' (usually made by State Govts) and native title (a federal bundle of rights given to people who can prove a connection to country going back to 1788). More work is needed to ensure the great difference between these two types of rights is made (GSthn).
::I agree. There should be a separate article for Land Rights. The first land rights legislation in Australia preceded the Mabo judgment by over a decade. Edelmand (talk) 14:51, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now created a new page, Aboriginal land rights in Australia. Relevant information from Native title in Australia will now be shifted to this page to ensure that the correct distinction is maintained. Edelmand (talk) 06:02, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Native title and land rights are not the same thing

message: This article describes a recently decided native title claim in the Torres Strait. I wasn't sure where to add it to the article.  Any suggestions? - Shiftchange (talk) 00:04, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (February 2018) 

message: Noting the discussion above (Not the same thing), I don't think that the articles in their current form make the distinction (if any) clear), and just divides information which I think could be reasonably expected to be found in the same article and which is more likely to be kept up to date or in a state of continuous improvement if all in one place. This article contains info about both state and federal legislation, although nothing about the background/lead-up, which could be included here. (There's also another article called Australian Aboriginal Sovereignty, but that article hasn't been touched much in recent times and could do with some more work...)

replies: text: Laterthanyouthink.  Sorry but as far as I can tell they should be kept sepaarate.  Yes you are correct, the differences are not explained very well.  It seems to me that NT is the recognition that the presumption of terra nullius was invalid, whereas ALRIA is where NT was extinguished but the land title is now given back.  It also seems to be that NT can coexist with other forms of land title and rights whereas ALRIA cannot coexist?  I think the articles should remain separate, and perhaps there needs to be an overview article of all forms of land rights, title, and tenure in Australia, eg, freehold, lease, pastoral lease, crown, NT, ...

replies: text: Yes, , I have been meaning to get back to this. Since posting the merge proposal, I've come across a bit more on related topics and I think added a bit to one or both of the articles too. Needs more concentrated work to ensure that the definitions and usages in other articles linking to these are using the appropriate link too, but perhaps I should remove the merge proposal.
