Absolutely excellent. I really like how he focused on the past but also on the present. Some of this stuff is still going on today! I see a good future for the Aboriginal People.

How dare he humiliate and shame indigenous people on the day in which they deserved to receive whole-hearted support and compassion! Not much of a sorry at all. What a shame.

Brendan you were without a doubt the WORST Minister ever in Australia. You're an idiot, you're a coward, and I can't count the amount of times you screwed things up for that other idiot HOWARD. But he deserves you, along with Hockey, your fellow idiot brother. Im SO GLAD your Libs, means every other party in Australia will have an easy job beating you. Thank goodness you quit you idiot.

I think it is easy to be bitter about all this, but I do thank Brendan Nelson for at least saying the things that John Howard never had the heart to admit.

@Australian22 I didn't mention anything about 'sorry'. But I very much do like the speech, it addresses and highlights many issues in the aboriginal community. Regardless of what you believe, he did say "As ONE PEOPLE, we are sorry".

@werdnanotroh i beg to differ i dont beleive he was sorry for what he was actually saying
-
What an amazing heart felt apology from a true and passionate leader...well done Brendan.

@benboyang the result, not a cause, of racism. Here here. 1.

The problems that face Aborigines that Nelson states, would they really be a result of the Stolen Generation, or because of their squalid living conditions?
Thanks for posting.
Quite a strange speech. He speaks with feeling but there is so much implicit defensiveness too.

I think he had a tough time with the speech. As Leader of the Opposition he had to give a speech that spanned the views of his entire party, which is why it turned out such a mess. Though I don't like the guy at all, I do feel a little sorry for him having to deliver that dog when he would probably rather joined in with a wholehearted apology. Sucks to be a Liberal, I guess.
