Trustees on Trial: Recovering the Stolen Wages
Author(s): Rosalind Kidd
Details the Qld government's nearly 100 year stranglehold on Aboriginal people's lives and earnings. Lays bare its (mis)management, and its conditional offer of up to $4000 compensation, representing for some a lifetime's work. Refutes the Beattie Government's claim it would win legal action by demonstrating ample precedence for our courts to declare they have a duty to account.
