TaskInstructions |
The evolution of property law in Australia has been shaped by historical legal doctrines, statutory reforms, and the gradual recognition of Indigenous land rights. At the core of Australias property law system is the doctrine of tenure and estates, the Torrens system, and the recognition of native title. Each of these elements has contributed to shaping the legal framework of property ownership, but their interaction has also led to tensions, particularly in the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land rights.
Therehasrecentlybeendissatisfactionexpressedbynumerousstakeholdersinrespectofthe stateofthecurrentlaw.
The Commonwealth Attorney-General has referred the issue to the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC). The terms of reference are as follows:
- To consider reform to Australian property law to ensure that native title law can workeffectivelyandefficientlywithinAustraliasexistingpropertylawsystem.
- Engage in extensive public and government consultation before producing a final report with
All States and Territories have agreed to be part of the inquiry and to make contributions in respect of their particular jurisdiction. The Queensland government has engaged you, a Queensland property lawyer, to provide a report to the ALRC on the following topic, focusing on Queensland law:
- What are the inconsistencies in native title and the common law doctrines of tenure, estates and the Torrens system?
- How can native title be approached so there is consistency with these doctrines and also with the Torrens system? Does equity have a potential role?
- What impediments are there under the current law in Queensland for the development of a more cohesive implementation of native title?
- What changes could be made to the law in Queensland to accommodate native title?
