Publisher Description This book debunks in spectacular fashion some of the most treasured, over-inflated claims of the benefits of native title.Professor Mick Dodson, ANU Centre for Indigenous StudiesDavid Ritters fascinating account of the evolution of the native title system is elegant and incisive, scholarly and sceptical; above all, unfailingly intelligent.Professor Robert Manne, La Trobe UniversityAn unsentimental, richly informed account of a fascinating period in the history of Australias relationships with its indigenous people.From the Foreword by Chief Justice Robert FrenchAfter the historic Mabo judgement in 1992, Aboriginal communities had high hopes of obtaining land rights around Australia. What followed is a dramatic story of hard-fought contests over land, resources, money and power, yielding many frustrations and mixed outcomes.Based on extensive research, enriched by intimate experience as a lawyer and negotiator, David Ritter offers both an insiders perspective and a cool-headed and broad-ranging account of the native title system. In lucid prose Ritter examines the contributions of the players that contested and adjudicated native title: Aboriginal leaders and their communities, multinational resource companies, pastoralists, courts and tribunals, politicians and bureaucrats. His account lays bare the conflicts, compromises and conceits beneath the surface of the native title process. Author Biography David Ritter teaches at the Faculty of Law at the University of Western Australia. He is currently working in a senior campaigns position with Greenpeace in London.
