To paraphrase Robert Orben
'Illegal aliens have always been a problem in Australia. Ask any Aborigine.'
On February 13, the first item of business in Australia's recently elected 42nd parliament will be an official apology from the Government to Australia's indigenous people, containing the critical word 'sorry'.
It will be a recognition of past sins, an affirmation of progress, and a commitment to substantially improving the appalling social and economic gaps between Aboriginals and other Australians.
February 13 becomes a day of reprieve, offered by the too rapid passage of time. Australians everywhere can be proud that we finally have a government committed to redressing this stain on our national conscience. Decades from now, this will be remembered as the day the nation finally matured.
