Current e-Petitions for the Legislative Council

Stolen Generations Compensation

Eligibility : Residents of Western Australia Only

To the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned ...

We the undersigned are concerned that the Parliament of Western Australia has not taken action in accordance with Recommendations 3 and 4 (Components of reparations) of the Report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families (1997).
We therefore ask the Legislative Council to undertake an Inquiry into Compensation Schemes in other States and Territories in Australia for those who suffered because of forcible removal policies and make recommendations to the Government of Western Australia in relation to the establishment of a Compensation or Reparation Scheme in that regard in Western Australia.

And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray.
