Is the following statement true or false? The Wik Decision (1996) extinguished pastoralists' rights on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land. Is the following statement true or false? The Native Title Act 1993 (Commonwealth) required all state

1. The statement "The Wik Decision (1996) extinguished pastoralists' rights on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land" is **false**. The Wik decision acknowledged that native title could coexist with pastoral leases, meaning that pastoralists' rights were not extinguished outright. 2. The statement "The Native Title Act 1993 (Commonwealth) required all states and territories to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land rights claims to Commonwealth lands" is **false**. While the Native Title Act established a framework for recognizing and determining native title rights, it did not mandate that states and territories recognize Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land rights claims on Commonwealth lands; it allowed for the recognition of those rights under certain conditions.
