The 1997 Bringing Them Home report state that the Prime Minister apologise to the Stolen
Generation, but sadly the Prime Minister John Howard refused to do it.
After one year the Prime Minister John Howard moved a Motion of Reconciliation, which included
an expression of "deep and sincere regret that indigenous Australians suffered injustices under
the practices of past generations, and for the hurt and trauma that many indigenous people
continue to feel as a consequence of those practices". The opposition leader Kim Beazley moved
to replace John Howard's motion of regret with an unreserved apology which was not
successful.n response, a popular movement evolved to celebrate "sorry day" in the absence of
formal political recognition from the conservative government. ( -

The development and prosperity of Australia is in a big part a result of take the land form
Aboriginal, we forced them into slave labour and deprive them basic of human rights.
What happen to them was and is , because is still going on, really disrespectful for the name
of human being. But it is sad to admit that is part of the history of the entire humanity.
