Show notes

The impacts of the Stolen Generation policies on families were detailed publicly for the first time in the landmark 'Bringing Them Home' report 29 years ago, following a national inquiry that featured the testimonies of more than 500 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Many recommendations from the report on redress and support for survivors still remain unimplemented. The Healing Foundation's David Wragge has spoken with Biwa Kwan about marking Sorry Day, and the work that remains to ensure appropriate redress and support is provided to ageing survivors. First Nations listeners seeking support can contact 13YARN on 13 92 76.
