The National Native Title Tribunal: Recent Statistics

With the criticism the National Native Title Tribunal has recently been attracting from many quarters concerning its mediation of native title matters, the Aboriginal Law Bulletin thought it might be of interest to our readers to get an overview of the Tribunal’s caseload and the nature of applications it is currently processing. Statistics are as at 21 March 1996.
