State makes 'new stolen generation'

QUEENSLAND'S reformed child protection system is creating a new "stolen generation", says a group of concerned Brisbane elders.

Supported by government statistics showing the number of indigenous children being removed from their homes has risen nearly 140 per cent over the past four years – and from constant close contact with many families caught in the system – the group, Aboriginal Women for Change, want reform.
