You won't find them because they're civil cases, usually not in the public domain.

Transcripts? Not exactly, but the best I can do:

R v Robyn Bella Kina - [1994] AboriginalLB 15; 3(67)pg14

ie the case of R v Kina, which enshrined battered women's syndrome as a legitimate defence for murder. Cultural rights are upheld here as the law demonstrates an understanding of equity and addresses the issue of Aboriginal customs - specifically that to not speak/disrespect the dead.

Also the fundamental right to be recognised as a family unit. ATSI marriages do not fulfil the conventional definitions of marriage [as stated in the Marriage Act 1961 (Cwlth) and Hyde v Hyde & Woodmansee 1866], so a 'meet-halfway' approach was introduced by a 1986 parliamentary report titled Twenty Years of Law Reform.
