THE STOLEN GENERATIONS АND PARLIAMENT

The Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says he will consider the recommendations of a report on the needs of the ageing 'Stolen Generations', including a call for financial compensation. Some of the Indigenous Australians forcibly taken from their parents have gathered in Canberra to mark the 20th anniversary of the landmark 'Bringing Them Home' report - the result of a national inquiry into the federal government policy. The new report calls for a national compensation fund and better funding for mental health services. Opposition leader Bill Shorten says it's time for the parliament to consider reparations.
