“For the pain, suffering and hurt of these Stolen Generations, their descendants and for their families left behind, we say sorry,”
“And for the indignity and degradation thus inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture, we say sorry.”
“We apologise for the laws and policies of successive Parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians.”
“We today take this first step by acknowledging the past and laying claim to a future that embraces all Australians.”
“… A future where all Australians, whatever their origins, are truly equal partners, with equal opportunities and with an equal stake in shaping the next chapter in the history of this great country, Australia.”
I applaud Mr Rudd sincerity, courage and vision for delivering these statements of apologies. These powerful words will ease the pain of the past, and hopefully strengthen the unity among the Australians.
Reflecting on many other countries that have laws and policies to discriminate against certain racial groups; will the day come when we hear an apology and the end of these formal discrimination that have inflicted grief and suffering?
Will the day come when we have equal opportunities?
