The Apology
"Our nation Australia has reached such a time and that is why the parliament is today here assembled to deal with this unfinished business of the nation" "To remove a great stain from the nation's soul and in the true spirit of reconciliation to open a new chapter in the history of this great land Australia" said by Kevin Rudd.To me this means that the parliament have realised what the older generation of Australia have done, and they realise that is up to us to heal the nations soul so we can come together, as one whole nation. The apology was said on February 13th 2008 by Kevin Rudd the prime minister at the time. To me its about realising that there is a time in history when people have to reconcile the past with the future. I also think that it was important that Kevin Rudd did say that because without saying sorry and realising what we did (as a nation) we would have repeated history.
