Mabo (properly cited Mabo [no2] 175 CLR 1) related to the concept of native title. This dispute put in question the validity of the use of 'Terra Nullius' as a means of establishing English law under the doctrine of reception. It was found that the land did belong to the aborigines, and hence should have been conquered rather than settled by the first fleet.
