NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into reparations for the Stolen Generations in NSW
The Indigenous Issues Committee made a submission to this inquiry. The submission noted that the NSW Government continues to have responsibility for the Stolen Generations in NSW, noting those child removal policies were implemented by State legislation.
The Committee’s submission focused on non-monetary reparations, including the guarantee against non-repetition of Stolen Generations and contemporary child removal policies; repatriation of members of the Stolen Generations; and access to records held by the State in order to amend, or provide additional information.
