A class action has been launched against the West Australian (WA) government in the hope of recovering wages stolen from Indigenous workers.

Shine Lawyers will lodge the class action in the Federal Court on Monday on behalf of workers whose wages were stolen as part of a labour scheme operated by the WA government under the Native Administration Act 1936 and Native Welfare Act 1963.
