Susan Phillips recently appeared as Junior Counsel in the Federal Court in the matter of George on behalf of the Gkuthaarn and Kukatj v State of Queensland [2020] FCA 1310.
In an interview with the ABC, Phillips stated that “This particular claim commenced in November 2012, but the people have been seeking recognition of their native title in the Gulf region since 1996”.
The Gkuthaarn and Kukatj people’s claim was finalised yesterday during a consent determination that recognised the traditional owners’ right to more than 16,000 square kilometres of land in Normanton.
