Summary Note " In Australia in 1909, in the state of New South Wales, the Aborigines Protection Board planned to break up Aboriginal communities by forcibly removing their children and hiring them out as servants to white employers. The title of this powerful documentary refers to the wages that were to be paid to the children. Many never saw the 'lousy little sixpence'. In the mid-1930's, the Aboriginal people began to organise and fight the Aborigines Protection Board. Through old newsreels, archive film, photographs and interviews with Elders, the film weaves a moving account of a hidden history, the early struggle for Aboriginal land rights and self determination."
