On 13 April 2006, Victor Nona and John Namas applied on their own behalf and on behalf of the Badualgal and Mualgal Peoples for a determination of native over numerous uninhabited small islands, islets and rocks located south of Badi Island and south-west of Mua Island in the Torres Strait. The applicants were successful.
The Badu Ar Mua Migi Lagal (Torres Strait Islanders) Corporation hold the native title in trust for the benefit of the native title holders.
The common law holders are entitled to the exclusive use and enjoyment of the land above the high water mark and to the non-exclusive use and enjoyment of water above the high water mark.
On 4 October 2024, the Badualgal and Muahlgal people’s native title rights and interests were recognised in relation to two uninhabited islands, Warral and Ului, after it was found, on 27 February 2023, that the Kaurareg people were not the common law holders for that area.
