you have particularly misrepresented the situation. Rudd isn't purely throwing money at them. He plans on imposing distinctive classes to close the literacy and numeracy expenditures between white and black australia, as an occasion, by utilising encouraging instructors to artwork in rural Aboriginal communities by utilising giving them larger pay. did you recognize that the universal existence span of indigenous Australian's is 17 years decrease? 'provide a guy a fish, and he eats for an afternoon, prepare a guy to fish and he eats for a existence time' The apology became into an important element: it shows a ruin between the previous and the present. averting the apology for such a long term brings shame to Australia. It became into long over due. An apology with out reimbursement is incomprehensible. it quite is like me stabbing you interior the attention and then basically givng you an empy 'sorry'.

No.. Money does not compare to what the went through, but rather generalizes and measures it. Money is a pathetic tool for compensation. Other ways of apologizing should be used.
