Did Eddie Mabo deserve the title of "Australian of the Year" in 1992? by https://padlet.com/pmccarthy8/uv8lc25b0535 Made with whimsy en-us 2017-05-08 12:52:50 UTC 2026-02-07 05:23:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png YES https://padlet.com/pmccarthy8/uv8lc25b0535/wish/170919928 Even though Eddie Koiki Mabo made some mistakes in his early years, he still helped create the Australia that we know today. The Australia we know, where everyone is equal, is all thanks to Eddie Mabo and Vincent Lingarii. Eddie Mabo helped Torres Strait Islanders get recognition that Murry Island is their land.

He has had some mistakes in his life but he has also had highs. He is like Vincent Lingiari he spoke to the government for land rights but instead for Torres straits.  He stood up for what is right he was  a great man.
