Rudd says Sorry
While people have many opinions on this event, no one can say this was not an historic moment. Personally, this makes me proud to be Australian (and it's been a while since I've said that). Saying Sorry is important, and now we need a plan to right the wrongs our government has done to the indigenous peoples. I hope they will set up a Resolution project like they have here in Canada. Though I hope they can come up with something that is more than just cash hand-outs. That does not solve the problem.
I know exactly what you mean, although I've had a few moments like that since Rudd became Prime Minister. Yesterday was the proudest moment though. This feeling of pride in my country is so new-- it's not something that I've felt before in my adult life.
