Didn't Kevin Rudd already say sorry for this? There is some disillusion about Australia and aboriginal ownership. The UK settled colonies by conquering the previous inhabitants, they lost the war. Federation occurred in 1901, Australia owes the aborigines nothing, and that was government policy up until Goth Whitlam stirred up racial tensions, copying from American politics. Pandering to Aboriginal claims has destroyed their self worth, very cruel thing to do, prior to that they worked hard and were well integrated in Australian society. Australia never belonged to the Aboriginies, it is a system of government with a spatial aspect which covers the lands conquered by the British crown.
