Slater & Moron could certainly learn from the solicitors Leigh Day, who after getting £20 million out of the British government for its actions in Kenya over 50 years ago, have now persuaded 15 Caribbean nations to sue Britain, France, Spain, Portugal & the Netherlands for the slave trade:

How far back should we go with this type of claim?

Perhaps we could encourage them to represent the British and Irish governments against Norway, Denmark and Sweden for the Viking invasions, and demand the repayment (plus interest) of the Danegeld.

No doubt if Mongolia was wealthier, there would be a host of countries lining up to sue them for the actions of Genghis Khan and his successors.

Will the descendants of the Sumerians sue the descendants of the Babylonians?

I have sympathy with these law suits but alarmed that it's Slater & Gorgon doing it.

I've watched the debate in Oz over the original inhabitants and learned counsel have presented good legal arguments why they were robbed and dis-enfranchised by the British invasion (of the lower orders and some top notchers)

it's difficult to deny that a class of people who only got legal recognition as a race in the 1960s have not been suppressed unfairly for generations so that the young Aboriginals now make up the largest jail population and so on.

50 years seems fair to me...going back 200/300 may not be so.

Although of course I have an excellent case to sue the current mob of low caste Tories and those on the Throne of Great Britain and it's Dominions as a den of thieves who have deprived me of my rightful place in the aristocracy, ney the Royal Family, emphasized by the recent discovery of poor old Uncle Dick's body in car park.

But then again one might have to consult with some ghastly distant relatives (not naming names but ITK comes to mind)so perhaps better to let sleeping dogs lie.
