No-one in government cares enough about Aboriginal peoples

The Stolen Wages campaigns are struggling in the finding of justice for families of those long gone and for those with little time left on this earth.

From WA, Yamatji Phil Moncrief said, "(These are) simple cut and dried cases.

However, the Stolen wages remain stolen for far too many people, their families and/or their descendants.

Disingenuous Gillard, Swan and Shorten can communicate denigration and mud but not policies!
