## Resource

A landmark $202 million class action for stolen wages from Aboriginal workers in the Northern Territory has hit a major snag—thousands missed out due to poor outreach, complex forms, and limited time. Local groups on the ground say they were underfunded and overwhelmed, while lawyers walked away with hefty fees. The case’s failure to reach remote communities like north-east Arnhem Land has sparked urgent calls for a national redress scheme to ensure fairness and accessibility. Though the Commonwealth can’t directly intervene in this court-ordered settlement, the fallout is seen as a wake-up call to fix systemic flaws—and finally deliver justice to those wronged by decades of wage theft.
