The Apology

[mstakenidentity]

I don't think there has been a moment since 9am in which I have not had tears in my eyes.

I am so indescribably happy that the government has done this.

I am proud.

I too can't wait to hear from all the people who have been wrongfully stolen so we can hear their stories and apologise to them.

It's been decades... surely someone will come forward... so we can apologise to them. There's a whole generation out there right. Should be easy.

Mr Rudd said 'there are thousands of them, (stories of stolen kids) tens of thousands of them'. I'd love to hear about 1 or 2 that were *wrongfully* taken.

You don't expect him to read that, do you?

It's more than 1 A4 page long, he won't read it.....

Are you playing Humpty Dumpty with the term 'wrongfully'? Yes. The kids were torn away from their parents legitimately. The kids were torn away from their parents lawfully. The kids were torn away from their parents with full support of the law.

That's exactly the reason why there was an apology today.
