How fantastic to have a government to say sorry. Now we need to have reconciliation and aknowledgement.
Here you can access the most moving, amazing and emotive speech on reconciliation ever made by a Prime Minister - the one and only Paul Keating - a great man; see if you can hold back the tears.

And of course the apology itself thank Kevin Rudd - now give those that were stolen some compensation and monumnets, aknowledgements in histry through education in schools etc and we will be on the road to reconciliation.

And Gary Foley - an Australian hero - a man working hard to make our country a better place for us all to live. Gary is in my heart forever for the speech he made at Lisa Bellear's funeral. 'You're my hero Foley' she said - and so he is mine.
