Awards

  • Short-listed for NSW Premier's History Award: John and Patricia Ward History Prize 2007
  • Shortlisted for NSW Premier's History Award: John and Patricia Ward History Prize 2007.

Overview

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.

Reviews

And where were the lawyers? . . . A signal virtue of this book is its explanation of how Australian jurisprudence lags behind that of Canada and the U.S. --Geoffrey Robertson, QC
