Lots on our Minds…full hearts.
The flowering gums and Moonah trees are native to Australia: their time is now.
Today is the Opening of Parliament and for the first time in Australia’s Parliamentary History a Native Elder welcomed the settlers to their land. From today, we all belong here. Opening ceremony ABC tv 7.30 report. 12 February 2008.
Tomorrow is ‘Sorry‘ Day. Oh yes! It has taken this new Goverment just 11 weeks to do what has never been done before. Healing for us all begins.
Full text of PM’s speech
“Today we honour the Indigenous peoples of this land, the oldest continuing cultures in human history.
We reflect on their past mistreatment.
We reflect in particular on the mistreatment of those who were stolen generations – this blemished chapter in our nation’s history.
The time has now come for the nation to turn a new page in Australia’s history by righting the wrongs of the past and so moving forward with confidence to the future.”
