Australian government apologizes and settles for $180M over decades of Indigenous worker underpayment.

The Australian government has officially apologized for underpaying Indigenous workers in the Northern Territory from the 1930s to the 1970s. This apology follows a class action lawsuit led by Minnie McDonald and aims to address the historical injustice. The government has settled with up to $180 million for around 10,000 affected First Nations people, marking a step towards healing and reconciliation.
