    More people know about the Stolen Generations and not Stolen Wages


    Bringing them home report (1997) (Victorian Collections)


    Generally, the public is not as aware of wages being stolen from Indigenous people as high as children being removed from families.


    While the Bringing Them Home Report by the Australian Human Rights Commission was released in 1997 - which was courtesy of academics, artists, activists and performers such as Peter Read, Alec Morgan, Kev Carmody, Archie Roach and even Midnight Oil who increased public awareness and pushed the agenda - ,a Senate Inquiry into the monies stolen wasn’t held until a decade later - in 2007.
