Never, have I been so proud of my country, and my Prime Minister, as I am today.

Never, have I been so proud to be a part of the people who elected the government that represents us.

And never, have I been so hopeful for a good political future in this country.

I just wish Brendan Nelson had said, "I agree" and stfu.

Peace,
Rotae

What is the Stolen Generation? Plz to be explaining your country for I am a lowly Yank with no concept of Australian culture. :)

You should watch a film called "Rabbit Proof Fence" if you get the chance. Brilliant film and depiction of what happened.

Peace,

Oooh. Well, kudos to them for the apology; it's more than most governments ever do.

[rotae.livejournal.com]

Exactly :)

Yeah. It's not exactly something we promote, lol.

To quote our Prime Minister from his speech:

"...removing a stain from the soul of Australia"

Peace,

My dad keeps scoffing, and saying, "it's pathetic" or something... He's thinking that it won't stop the petrol sniffers/crimes by Aboriginals... But I'm thinking that this is a good thing and was well received by all Australians, indigenous or otherwise. I'm glad it has happened.

I'm proud of Kevin Rudd. I'm so glad that he's our Prime Minister :)

I heard this on NPR and thought of you. Very much yay. Here's hoping we crazy Americans can do as well with our upcoming election.
