| | Guardian Unlimited Special reports Aborigine rights damaged by mining verdict |
| | In a decision which ends an eight-year legal wrangle between Aboriginal land rights advocates and the country's billion-pound mining industry, the court declared that local Aborigines had no rights to the mineral wealth extracted from the world's biggest diamond mine. | | | The Australian high court dealt a severe blow to the Aboriginal land rights movement yesterday when it rejected claims by the Miriuwung-Gajerrong people to a 3,050sq mile area of land in the country's remote north-west. | | | Les Malezer, the international officer at the indigenous rights organisation Faira, described yesterday's decision as a "step back to the days of terra nullius" - a reference to the discredited legal notion that Australia was uninhabited at the time of European colonisation. |

Although the effect of the arrival of Europeans on Aboriginal culture was profound and catastrophic, the reverse is not the case: broadly speaking, mainstream Australian culture has been imported from Europe, the United Kingdom in particular, and has developed since that time. | | | Others seize eagerly on each small point of difference, and brandish relatively small parts of the Australian cultural experience (such as the poetry of Henry Lawson, Australian Rules football, or the pie floater) as if these were sufficient to demonstrate that a new and vital culture has emerged in the two centuries since European settlement. | | | Australians, according to myths, are relaxed, tolerant, easy-going and yet cling dearly to the fundamental importance of common-sense justice, or to use the classic expression, a "fair go". |
