I think that Eddie Mabo truly deserved the award for being Australian of the year.

How was he a good role model?

When the English came and stole his land, (Murray Island) he didn't just sit back and let them finish the job. He fought for the land, because he believed he had the courage and passion to take the English on. That's what we should all do, fight for something that we think is right, and not give up.

How did he contribute to Australia?

Mabo contributed to Australia by getting his land back in the end and claiming it for the Torres Strait Islanders. That holds a message that you shouldn't take what's not yours.

How does he inspire others?

Eddie's actions probably changed a lot of lives - even though he did some mistakes. (Hey, we all make some throughout our life!) Eddie Mabo had a great spirit and passion (like I said in 'how was he a good role model' and you can clearly see why he would be someone's role model.

This impacted many Torres strait and Aboriginal Australian's lives. He fought for the land of Murray Island because he and his people were the original land owners if it. He was a great role model because he followed his dreams and fought for what was right.
