On February 13, 2008, the Australian prime misnister Kevin Rudd apologised for the hurt caused by decades of state-sponsored treatment of the indigenous community.
According to it, it is useful to say sorry after years of wrong policies towars a minoriy? in my point of view the apologise given by the Australian parliament showed the commitment they have with the aboriginals, it was a step in which they say sorry for the hurt they cause but they also have to compensate the families, the parliament should help these people with health, housing and education because those are key elements for the well being of the community.
