Mabo-Style Claims to the Radio Spectrum

Crehan, A.C.

My concern in this paper is going to be the ways in which various Information Technology (IT) developments can raise ethical issues in seemingly unrelated (ie. non-IT) areas. In particular, I want to show how developments in relation to the Radio Spectrum raise ethical issues about the rights which indigenous Australians have qua indigenous Australians. Along the way, I will illustrate the limits of contemporary Australian approaches to the concept of native rights, and raise the question of whether alternative approaches ought to be preferred.
