The Mabo decision in 1992 was a decisive shift in the law as it had been previously understood. It effected the most significant shift in the balance of power between Aboriginal Australians and the settler society since 1788. Great lawyers playing many different roles, in Milirrpum and beyond, brought that about. Whether as counsel, judges, Royal commissioners, commissioners, Prime Ministers, Ministers, politicians or citizens they righted an absurd wrong and took Australia some way out of an age of racial discrimination. They found diverse ways to nudge Australian law into a new direction. The list of those involved is a roll of honour.
