About the Settlement

In November 2023 the WAGovernment agreed to settle the case brought by Mr Mervyn Street against the WA Government on behalf of all First Nations people who weren’t paid all their wages or money between 1936 and 1972.

The WA Government also issued a public apology and acknowledgement in the Western Australian Parliament to the surviving and deceased workers on 28 November 2023.
