The cynical Australian position would be "sovereignty? What sovereignty?"
Having only a few pages to work with, it might be difficult to really cover things like the transition from Mabo to Wik to the Ten Point Plan, to the Yorta Yorta case which pretty much knocked the legs out from under what was left (and there are two more cases in there, and I'm ashamed that I can't remember the names of them, but they're the "bundle of rights" cases)...
If you've got a specific focus I could maybe help a little: recent developments like the mining agreements, or the Native Title Tribunal, things like that. But mostly it is summed up by "sovereignty? What sovereignty?"
