Something that Johnnie Howard and other previous prime ministers refused to do, Kevin Rudd apologies to Australia’s aboriginal stolen generation.
Australia issues official apology for mistreating Aborigines: “Prime Minister Kevin Rudd told parliament that past policies of assimilation, under which aboriginal children were taken from their families to be brought up in white households, were a stain on the nation’s soul. ‘Today, the parliament has come together to right a great wrong,’ Rudd said. ‘We apologize for the laws and policies of successive parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians.’”
Go Kevin go!
