South Sea Islander community receive first formal apology for slavery

Following a century-long fight for recognition, the South Sea Islander community have had the abhorrent true origins of the Queensland workforce formally acknowledged.
On Friday, Bundaberg mayor Jack Dempsey said the practice of forcing indentured labour into Queensland cane fields was equivalent to slavery and abhorrent .
It marks the first formal apology by a government official to those who were taken from their Pacific Island homes and their descendants.
The practice known as Blackbirding saw an estimated 60,000 South Sea Islanders brought to Australia between 1863 and 1904 to work on sugarcane and cotton farms in Queensland and Northern NSW.
Chairwoman of the interim national body for Australian South Sea Islanders, Waskam (Emelda) Davis, said the apology was many years in the making. ....

The owners of historic Boydtown on the NSW south coast are planning to change its name, while Ben Boyd National Park may also be renamed. Residents in North Sydney will take part in a survey to rename Ben Boyd Road, too.
The reason: Boyd’s links to “blackbirding” in the 19th century.

Boyd instigated this practice in the late 1840s, bringing the first group of Pacific Islanders to work on land in the Australian colonies. Although his scheme ultimately failed, other labour traders would deliver approximately 62,000 islanders to Queensland and NSW between the 1860s and 1900s. ....
