Abstract
The focus of this paper is Indigenous stolen wages. There is a strong link between stolen wages and the removal of Indigenous children from their families - the Stolen Generations. In late 2007, PIAC began working with individuals and organisations across Australia on strategies to ensure an effective national response to Indigenous stolen wages. In addition to the need to establish schemes in all jurisdictions, there is an important need for a national forum to publicly air the complexity and the consequences of mandatory controls over Indigenous labour and finances during most of the 20th Century.
