I took that from Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's apology speech given to the Stolen Generation Aborigines today. It was such a fantastic speech. It's been a good day for Australia today, I'm happy. Very happy.
Very inspiring quote, Zoo. I hope the speech today is accurate in terms of better race relations in Australia. We could use a little of that here, too.
I hope exactly the same thing GG and I think the speech has brought Australia one step closer to having proper race equality. Just seeing Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians standing together and getting emotional over the apology speech all together, just went to show how much the apology meant to people. It's amazing how one word can mean so much, but it does. It's a good feeling.
The Stolen Generation is such a horrific thing and I am so glad that an apology has finally been made. At the same time, I am so angry it took so many changes in power before the apology was actually made.
