Summary
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.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[A] harrowing account of Australia’s enduring past, painstakingly and courageously researched and engagingly written by one of Australia’s most informed authorities.” –Helen Burrows, “Indigenous Law Bulletin”“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”“It is a scandal of breathtaking proportions. Kidd is to be congratulated for demanding that our governments must be held to the same depth of accountability as they would demand of any financial institution taking and dealing with public funds.” –Alan Gold, “Good Reading”
