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.

Helluva job, then, convincing so many people to make up stories so a department can get more money...

But I know where you're coming from, though. And I too wish the jews would stop pretending that 'holocaust' thing happened...





That last line was sarcasm, just so everyone knows.

"Many of you may have issues with Andrew Bolt, but disregarding his well researched comments means you're playing the man rather than the ball."
Perhaps, but believing anything Andrew Bolt says makes me feel conservative and makes me want to bash myself to death with a frozen pineapple.

"Viewing mstakenidentity's article ... all are given by undisclosed or censored sources and as such they are hard to verify."
Wrong. It was an in depth national inquiry, over two years, interviewing in person 535 Aboriginal Australians, and received submissions of evidence from over 600 more. As for the 'undisclosed or censored sources', to quote the report: "The names and other identifying details have been changed in the case of Indigenous witnesses who provided evidence or submissions in confidence to protect their privacy and that of the people of whom they spoke."

The actual people aside, the fact remains that laws and policies existed, at both a state and federal level, for the forcible removal of Aboriginal children from their parents. And that in itself is worth an apology.

Gosh. You and your woolly-headed, fact-based thinking. He's not going to listen to you! He has awesome fact-finders like Andrew Bolt. We only have Royal Commissions! He's clearly correct!

I wonder if he thinks that David Irving has well researched comments? It wouldn't surprise me.

Sworn testemony????

You'd take that as "Evidence"?

I'd much rather take the word of a man in the pay of Rupert Murdoch.....
