The Annerley Branch has unanimously called for urgent action on the issue of indigenous ‘stolen wages’.
In a resolution passed at its December meeting, the Branch has given its full support for the re-opening of the original claims process, as well as adopting a more reasonable approach for determining claims, such as that currently operating in New South Wales.
There was also some positive reflection in the resolution, with commendation of the Queensland Government’s Indigenous Queenslander’s Fund.
The resolution reflects the growing sentiment within the labour movement over the issue.
