Australia Aboriginals win right to sue for colonial land loss

The ruling in favour of the Ngaliwurru and Nungali groups paves the way for billions of dollars in compensation.

"Native title" refers to the rights of Australia's indigenous people to their traditional land and water recognised by Australian common law.
