Australia’s Stolen Wages: One Woman’s Quest for Compensation
State governments enforced “protection acts” between 1890 and 1985.
Bigali Hanlon is a Yindjibarndi woman born in 1940 at Mulga Downs in Western Australia. At the age of six, she was taken from her mother and sent to live in a church-run hostel for “fair-skinned” indigenous children.
