Mabo website logs off

Extract from Australian Broadcasting Corporation - ABC Online, on Aug 9th, 2002.

A website bearing the name, Mabo, has closed down following controversy
over the proposed sale of the site.

The Gold Coast owners of mabo.com.au had wanted to sell the website for a
six-figure sum, which offended the family of the late land rights
campaigner Eddie Mabo.

The family had no association with the site and was concerned about the
commercial use of the name.
