Having concluded his analysis of the Freedom Summit, Ghillar Michael Anderson said it was clear that a great majority of the people who attended were determined to assert their sovereignty. He acknowledged the polarity between the people of different backgrounds, something that has never been so apparent before, and saw the coming together of these groups with an understanding that each can support the other.

The outcome of the 'Euahlayi Rates Dispute case' relied on an expanded doctrine of terra nullius to the First Nations people justice. The Supreme Court Judge in Queensland failed to clarify certain arguments, and used the non-justiciability of the sovereignty issue as a link in a chain of argument.
