===Development of native title===
{{main|Native title in Australia|Aboriginal land rights in Australia}}
The decision established the legal doctrine of [[Native title in Australia|native title]], enabling further litigation for Indigenous land rights.<ref name=":2">Note: an example of litigation following Mabo is the [[Wik Peoples v Queensland|Wik decision]]</ref> Native title doctrine was eventually supplemented in statute by the [[Keating government]] in the ''[[Native Title Act 1993]]'' [[Native Title Act 1993|(Cth)]].

The recognition of native title by the decision gave rise to many significant legal questions. These included questions as to the validity of titles issued which were subject to the ''[[Racial Discrimination Act 1975]]'' [[Racial Discrimination Act 1975|(Cth)]], the permissibility of future development of land affected by native title, and procedures for determining whether native title existed in land.

In response to the judgment the [[Keating government]] enacted the [[Native Title Act 1993|''Native Title Act 1993'' (Cth)]],<ref>{{cite Legislation AU|Cth|act|nta1993147|Native Title Act 1993}}.</ref> which established the [[National Native Title Tribunal]] to hear native title claims at first instance. The act was subsequently [[Native Title Amendment Act 1998|amended]] by the [[Howard government]] in response to the [[Wik Decision|Wik decision]].
