Aboriginal man wins 'stolen generation' compensation

Activists have renewed calls for an official apology after a court awarded 525,000 Australian dollars (€329,000) to an Aboriginal man taken from his family as a baby – the first such payout for a member of Australia’s so-called “stolen generation”.

The South Australian Supreme Court in Adelaide ordered the state government to compensate Bruce Trevorrow for damages caused when he was taken from his parents without their knowledge 50 years ago.
