Indigenous leader Noel Pearson praised the late High Court justice Sir Gerard Brennan who had a significant role in the Mabo judgement.
Mr Pearson said Justice Brennan was a Queenslander.
'It was he who declared it would be an unacceptable racial discrimination for the law of Australia to deny that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples owned their traditional homelands,' he said.
Why do activists concentrate on land rights? It doesn't do anything to help every day aborigines. Why not concentrate on poverty, substance abuse, diabetes, incest and domestic violence?

Yet the sick and twisted psychopath Dictator Dan and Labor are still banning thousands and thousands of indigenous from even working, they have been forced onto welfare, can't pay their rent and mortgages, can't afford to feed their kids and it's pushing so many onto the streets homeless. Why is the media silent on this??
