Abstract
This essay examines recent significant political events in the context of Australian native title triggered by a Federal Court case, McGlade v National Native Title Registrar (2017) 340 ALR 419 brought by several Noongar people from the south west of Western Australia, and the hasty amendments to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) that followed. I am writing this analysis as a Noongar researcher and academic, human rights lawyer, and the daughter of one of those Court applicants, Noongar elder Mingli Wanjurri McGlade. This essay includes dialogue between Mingli McGlade and myself, documenting and contextualising the McGlade case within a wider Noongar history and backdrop of racial discrimination, social justice, Noongar activism, and resistance.
