Still Bringing Them Home: Stolen Generations Awareness Campaign Urges Queenslanders to Take Action
Link-Up (Qld)’s Still Bringing Them Home campaign for Stolen Generations awareness has reached hundreds of thousands of Queenslanders halfway through its seven-week duration.
Alongside a range of educational resources, including the Still Bringing Them Home Podcast, the campaign urges Queenslanders to write to the Crisafulli Government in support of a Queensland Stolen Generations Redress Scheme, with Queensland being the only Australian state that has not established a scheme already.
This comes after the submission of a comprehensive Queensland Stolen Generations Redress Scheme proposal to the Crisafulli Government by Link-Up (Qld) in March, which has not yet received a formal reply.
Awareness for the campaign has largely come from the podcast series featuring NRL player Jayden Campbell, Home and Away actor Kyle Shilling, Aboriginal rights advocate Shannan Dodson, Stolen Generations survivor Mike ‘Big Mike’ Salbro and more.
Still Bringing Them Home Podcast episode three
The finale of the three-part podcast series releases 12 November 2026, reaching new audiences with Gold Coast Titans star Jayden Campbell and former Healing Foundation CEO Shannan Dodson.
In the podcast finale, Dodson said we need to find common ground for complex and nuanced discussions to happen as society becomes more polarised.
“Imagine if it was you… your child and your family. How would you feel about not having seen any type of justice or compensation for what happened?” Dodson said.
Holistically, the campaign encourages Queenslanders to learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and the ongoing impacts of forced child removal on Stolen Generations survivors and descendants.
Why now?
Link-Up (Qld) Chief Executive Officer Patricia Thompson AM said the ongoing impacts of the Stolen Generations have not been addressed, particularly by failing to meet the recommendations of the Bringing Them Home report, almost 30 years ago.
“The time for talk is over and really we need some action,” Thompson said.
