National Sorry Day
Points
Saying sorry would start to heal the Aboriginals wounds
The public/new generation would learn to respect Aboriginals the same
We would continue with Aboriginal traditions such as Acknowledgement of Country before every event
Conceptualize this, only 50 years ago, you were treated differently just by the colour of your skin, there was absolutely no way you were allowed to vote despite your age and you were bullied and not allowed the same medical resources and education services. Then the Prime Minister says sorry and everyone thinks it is refined, and there is no public holiday for the memorable event. Well, that was what happened on the 13 February 2008 and it impacted 3.3% of Australia population or over 650,000
