TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House our petition asking for the Queensland government to reconsider its blanket settlement offer of wages removed from the indigenous community between 1890 and 1970.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to establish best practice and award all monies owed to these peoples on individual merit.
