He leads the Close the Gap campaign on Indigenous health equality and also delivered the formal response to the National Apology on behalf of the Stolen Generation and is a staunch defender of human rights.

Koiki (Eddie) Mabo was a crusader for Indigenous land rights. The Mabo Oration commemorates the Federal High Court's 1992 Mabo decision, which changed the course of Australian history by recognising native title and reversing the doctrine of terra nullius.
