Message Body:
The original Sovereigns & First nations people of Australia are endevouring to empower & support our Elders in their struggle to right the wrongs of the past in a peaceful and proactive approach to seek justice for the many victims of the STOLEN WAGES. Money that they worked long and hard for, that was put in trust by the state government & controlled to an extent, where many never got to see or spend their own wages.
THE WELFARE FUND was the very same money the government used to build hospitals, roads, railways, schools, major building & infrastructure, the sugar & cattle industry & much more.
Many of our people were denied access and use to these vital services.
Current situation:

1. Instead, our Ancestors, were locked up in compounds & enslaved from an early age.
2. During these times, they were also deprived of any contact with their families, hence producing the STOLEN GENERATION.
3. It is well overdue, for these matters to be addressed on a proactive, genuine, social justice approach.
4. Without JUSTICE our people cannot share the same civil, social, cultural or economic rights, as all other Australians.
