Australia Says Sorry...
Permalink  

Seeing as the board still has an Australian theme, this link pretty much describes the view of most Australians I've spoken to on the subject of an apology to the 'stolen generations'...

http://www.pomsinperth.com/discussionboard/viewtopic.php?t=13448

The stolen generations refer to Aboriginal children taken from their parents if they had any anglo-saxon blood, this happened right up until the 1970's..

That's just wrong on so many levels.

Actually it's only wrong on one level - the BIG FAT WRONG level!

There's a bit more about the Stolen Generation on Wiki.

Hugesey seems to be a very sad individual. Maybe we should invite him here - we could always do with a laugh!
