THE RECOGNITION OF ABORIGINAL CUSTOMARY LAWS - 718. Comment.
Information about the processes of decision making and the informal
justice mechanisms at Strelley is limited, but it gives some idea
of the way in which the attempts are made to resolve problems and
to interact with the general legal system. The reality of the
broader legal system is accepted and accommodated, but is not
regarded by the people as the way in which they would seek to
resolve all their problems. In a similar way to Yirrkala, it seems
that certain matters are seen as being within the jurisdiction of
the general legal system, while others are to be resolved locally.
