Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3190288, member: 10185"] Have they not been acknowledged? Not a soul alive is suggesting we forget history like it never happened. If i recall Kevin Rudd publicly apologized for what happened on behalf of all Australians. If i recall The Aboriginal Land rights act was implemented to rightfully return lands of cultural importance back to the Aboriginal people. The Aboriginal flag is flown wherever a Union Jack flag is flown, be it outside every hospital, police station and court house in the country. There are more government programs in place to assist the aboriginal community than any other group of people in Australia. We have indigenous rounds in NRL, and the AFL. Is this not all acknowledgement? How much more needs to be done before we all fly under the same flag? How much more needs to be done before modern day Australians can all walk side by side without the past filtering into and breeding segregation in our communities? So tell me, how do these past transgressions be fully acknowledged and dealt with openly so Australia as a nation can progress? It seems to be thats what has been happening but still we have segregation as is evident by the recent attempt to cancel the anthem and subsequent backflip on that call. [/QUOTE]
