Stolen Wages

Stolen Wages Built this State

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Qld, after being moved off their land and often institutionalised, were required to work for little or no cash in both private and public employment, while their money was kept in trust by the State. These wages were never paid.

Still Unfinished Business

The Australian Government finally released it's response to the Recommendations from Unfinished Business: Indigenous Stolen Wages - a report of the Senate Standing committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs. The response is brief and unsubstantial but full details of the original report can be found here. The struggle for justice continues in Qld with a case before the courts being supported by the QCU.
