Can I have reparations for my ancestors being sent here for stealing a loaf of bread cause they were starving to death?
Sure, just identify as Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander.
I'm betting evidence would be required.
Maybe for the big payout, but a lot of fat fucks with no self respect have been rorting the system that way to gain "diversity hire" positions for decades.
As far as I know you just need to claim you are and have an "elder" from the tribe vouch for you. There is no actual proof required. So you end up with people like Bruce Pascoe who had zero aboriginal heritage but is lauded by the left because he claims to and writes bullshit fairytales about abos inventing agriculture and living in large towns.
