In Australia, like other common law settler societies, the right to property has been hotly contested. Settlers, Indigenous peoples, administrators, plaintiffs and defendants, have all fought (in the courts, on the hustings, in newspapers, and often with guns and other instruments of violence) over the right to property. This unit examines, in historical and political context, the interaction between law and property rights. -- Course Website
