Abstract
"There is a need for Australian lawmakers and policy makers to sit down and talk with women and men who are knowledgeable in Aboriginal law, and to demonstrate respect for Aboriginal culture. One way of working towards this end would be to implement some of the recommendations to recognise Aboriginal customary law in appropriate ways within the framework of the mainstream legal system, in particular the recommendations of the Northern Territory Law Reform Committee of Enquiry into Aboriginal Customary Law which were tailored to the unique situation of the Northern Territory." - Summary,
