In 2002, on the tenth anniversary of the High Court decision, Mabo's widow, [[Bonita Mabo]], called for a national public holiday on 3 June. On the eleventh anniversary, in 2003, the [[Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission]] (ATSIC) launched a petition to make 3 June an [[Australian Public Holiday]]. Eddie Mabo Jnr, for the Mabo family, said:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aboriginalheritage.org/news/2013/mabo-day/|title=Mabo Day|date=2 June 2013 |publisher=Aboriginal Heritage Office|access-date=18 November 2020}}</ref>
