    y separately published work icon Queensland Review vol. 4 no. 1 April 1997 Z1094607 1997 periodical issue 'Topicality has its drawbacks. In the last issue of the Journal of Australian Studies (UQP), the editor acknowledged that history - acting through the editor of the Courier-Mail - would seem to have overtaken an essay by one of the contributors about Helen Darville. In a somewhat similar way history, in the figure of Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Kev Lingard, has intervened on the situation so powerfully evoked by Ros Kidd in a paper delivered at our annual conference last December and published in the present issue of the Review. A week ago at the time of writing this editorial the Queensland Government acknowledged the justice of the Palm Island Aboriginal community'S compensation claim for many years of less than award wages, apologised to the claimants for the under-payments, and handed over some $50,000 in compensation cheques. Given the historical circumstances it was a fairly modest gesture, but it is to be hoped it will not be the last; and in the current post-Wik climate of opinion it was a welcome and - to many people - unexpected move.' (Editorial)  1997 pg. 12-17
