"A total of 106 claimants will share in Tasmania’s landmark scheme providing ex-gratia payments to members of the Aboriginal ‘Stolen Generations’, the Premier has announced.
Mr Lennon said the completion of the assessment process was an important step forward for reconciliation and a sincere effort to address a shameful wrong from Tasmania’s past.
No amount of money can make up for Aboriginal children being removed from their families simply on the basis of race, Mr Lennon said."
