Today marks an important day in our history. It is one that I feel is an awfully long time coming and one that I *hope* is the beginning of a whole new Australia.
Kevin Rudd, today, apologises to our stolen generation.
Finally.
Many people think it's pointless and stupid and whatever. But, I am sorry that it happened. Whether it was done with the best of intentions or not is beside the point. Fact is, I'm dreadfully sorry that people were treated in that manner full stop. That hundreds of children lay awake at night wondering where their mummies and daddies were - to be told whatever furphy they were told.
It's about time we apologised.
And; we have. http://www.abc.net.au/news/events/apology/text.htm
