June 2004 Volume 6, Issue 3

There have been many significant legal and other developments affecting Australia's Indigenous peoples through Volume 5 - July 2000 to February 2004. Unfortunately, many have not been positive, however there have been some advancements in the fight for realisation of Indigenous peoples' rights and to ameliorate the destructive impact of past injustices.

We have been very fortunate to have many editors working on the ILB in the course of this Volume. We thank them for their tireless hard work, commitment and vision. We would also like to extend a special thanks to Emeritus Professor Garth Nettheim for his continued encouragement, guidance and contributions. Garth has been involved with the ILB since its inception and much of what it is today is owed to him. Of course, the ILB would be nothing without the exceptional talents of its designers. Thanks to Dale Harrison, Sophie Verrechia, Francisco Fisher, Adam Hill and our current designer John Hewitt for their work in making the ILB look fantastic. Thank you also to Russell Bastock for website design. Finally we would like to thank the many other people who have contributed - writers, peer reviewers, guest editors, artists and volunteers.
