What do English, History, Law, Earth Science, Education and Languages students have in common? They can all be found at the Nguma-bada Zine Club. JCU Senior Lecturer Dr Roger Osborne formed the Zine Club out of a desire to create a space where diversity and creativity could be expressed and celebrated.
The landmark Mabo Decision was made in 1992 — one of the most significant turning points for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the fight for native title. Thirty years later, a new generation learns about, is inspired by and prepares to continue the work that Eddie Koiki Mabo helped progress. In honour of Mabo Day, three JCU students reflect on the legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo and the Mabo Decision and their hopes for the future of Australia’s First Nations people.
