Shine Lawyers is seeking claimants for a newly launched class action on behalf of indigenous Australians whose wages were stolen. Wage control legislation led to wages being withheld in the period between the late 1800s and the early 1970s. This may include farmworkers, domestic staffers, laborers, stockmen, and others.
Survivors of the so-called “Stolen Generations” may finally see their day in court. Shine Lawyers are gearing up to file a class action against the Australian government. More than 800 claimants are asking to be compensated for the loss of culture and connection to their country, and for the trauma suffered.
An upcoming meeting of Fronterra milk suppliers promises to provide information about the developing class action. Fronterra, a major milk processor, is accused of engaging in deceptive and misleading conduct by failing to price match another major milk processor—Murray Goulburn.
