KEVIN Rudd has offered a broad apology to all Aborigines and the Stolen Generations for their "profound grief, suffering and loss" in a carefully worded statement that was greeted by a standing ovation today .
Thousands of Aboriginal Australians gathered in Canberra to watch the historic apology, which was televised around the nation and shown at special outdoor settings in remote indigenous communities.
Many of those watching had personal experience of the forcible removal of Aboriginal people, and there were emotional scenes as the apology was delivered.
From my own point of view result really useful to say sorry because they must started recognizing that they did wrong, by apologizing some wounds can be healed and thus begin to recognize these minorities as an essential part of Australian society, even thouhg I found out appropriate to ask forgiveness, I think which is not only necessary because many atrocities have been committed against indigenous and otherwise will have to compensate and gradually integrate them entirely to the system, giving greater opportunities and protecting them how they are suppose to do it.
