A Day Long Overdue
Wow. I'm not usually all that enthralled by Australias' politicians, much less moved to tears by anything they say, but I was this morning. Today our new Prime Minister Kevin Rudd stood up and in his first speech to Parliament spoke for all of us in saying sorry for the appalling treatment our society has inflicted on our indigenous peoples.
And the best part? You could tell, from his voice, his manner, his expression, that he actually meant what he was saying personally. This was no political point scoring exercise. This was as sincere as it gets, and how rarely do we see that from politicians? This day will be long remembered.
Thank you Mr Rudd.
