Stolen Wages Case

Posted on by Edward Chubb

Dear All,

As some of you know, I am one of the barristers working on the Stolen Wages Case.

The case was started in the Federal Court of Australia in September.

Part of my role is to meet with people in the community and inform them about the case and how to become involved.

The case is likely to be rolled out across a number of States and Territories. At this stage, we are focusing on Queensland and it is my responsibility to meet with people in the Central Queensland and Mount Isa regions.

It is a class action which means that Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander who were effected by the stolen wages policies are entitled to be a part of the claim.

People may be able to join the claim if:

  1. they identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander; and
  2. they worked before 1980; or
  3. they had an immediate family member, who has passed away, work between 1890 (over 100 years ago) and 1980.

The case is different to the reparations scheme run by the Qld Government.

I will be holding an information session in Rockhampton on 10 November from 10am, at the All Blacks Sports on Lakes Creek Road.

I will then be returning to Rockhampton in late November to assist people with signing up for the claim.

I will also be travelling to Mount Isa and Woorabinda in November and will confirm dates and venues soon.

Would you please forward the email amongst your networks and also let people know who may be affected.

For people who are attending or would like more information you can contact me on 07 3012 8385 or 0405 646 298. You can also call the Stolen Wages Hotline on 07 4041 1641.

Regards
