Australia says sorry

In the pouring rain, an historic event unfolded on a giant screen in Sydney's CBD, as Australian PM Kevin Rudd said sorry to the Stolen Generations. His wonderful speech received the applause and ovation it deserved. Here are just a few of his words:

"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."

There are calls for his apology to Australia's indigenous people to be endorsed by Gordon Brown, as the Britain Government was behind the policies that led to thousands of Aboriginal children being taken from their families. I hope he has the guts to do so.
