Queensland now remains the only Australian state or territory without a redress scheme for survivors of the Stolen Generations, after Western Australia announced one this week. Survivors will be eligible for individual payments of $85,000, with the scheme to be open by the end of the year. Under government policies, more than half of all Aboriginal people in Western Australia were taken from their families - or are related to survivors. The Healing Foundation has been advocating on behalf of Stolen Generations survivors. In this episode of Weekend One on One, the group's CEO, Shannan Dodson, told Biwa Kwan, it means a lot to survivors to receive this acknowledgment - and it advances the healing process.
