2.Equity and Trusts

You are required to provide advice to a client. Your client is Joe Jenson. Mr Jenson identifies as an Indigenous man. He says that he worked as a stockman in Queensland over 50 years ago and claims that the wages he earned (around 7000 pounds at the time and enough to buy a house) were supposed to be held in trust by the State government but that much of that money was not paid to Mr Jenson, in fact he says he only received 30 pounds. Mr Jenson says there were about 100 other Indigenous stockman employed in the area who suffered the same treatment. He wants to take a class action against the Queensland government. This is unfortunately not an uncommon event that arose as a result of the State government controlling the wages of Aboriginal people for almost 80 years. The money was supposed to be held in trusts, but much of the money has been lost or stolen. The State has acknowledged this and set up a compensation fund but Joe, and others like him, are arguing that the compensation is not sufficient to cover the amount lost or the opportunities that were lost as a result of not having access to all their money. For example, Joe claims that his family remained economically and socially disadvantaged because they were unable to afford to buy into the property market and increase his family's wealth as property prices boomed as many others were able to do. The stolen wages case provides an example of how the government's failure to protect the monies earned by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island workers has contributed to the cycle of disadvantage and inequity experienced by some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. You are a junior solicitor in the firm and required to undertake legal research of this matter and draft a memo of advice setting out your findings to present to the partner leading the case.
