The Australian registered motor tanker Arthur Phillip was on a voyage from the Saladin oil terminal, West Australia, to Botany Bay, New South Wales, with a full cargo of crude oil. At about 2325 (UTC+9½), 5 May 1991, in approximate position 037 degrees 31 minutes South 132 degrees 59 minutes East, the fire alarm sounded and the bridge alarm panel indicated a fire in the accommodation block at main deck level. A fire was confirmed in the crew recreation room/bar. The master altered course to bring the Arthur Phillip closer to another vessel, the Alcides, in the event that assistance may have been required.

According to the Justices, Arthur Phillip had incorrectly applied the Doctrine of Terra Nullius, thereby failing to recognize Aboriginal legal systems. This failure to recognize the legal systems amounted to an act of racism that needed to be addressed. To address the racism, the Justices ruled that if Aborigines can produce 200 years of evidence showing their association with the land, then they can formerly claim title. If Aborigines have lost an association at any time in the last 200 years, irrespective of the reason, then title can not be revived.
