Geezzzzz....how many organisations are there that have "Sorry" as their rason de etre????
All publiclly funded no doubt and all part of the Aboriginal "industry"
Frankly, anyone who is in a funk or a deep hole in their life and is Aboriginal and who claims that it all will turn around because the word "sorry" is used - is having a go.
That word wont make a skerrick of difference.
It will distance them from mainstream Australia as most Aussies have no desire to see that word used for deeds they didnt have anything to do with.
Oh well. Those on the public teat will remain so and will milk it for all its worth
Heck...even Canada that hotbead of PC-based radical lefthink havent used the word
Here's my offer.
When the Aboriginal elders and spokespeople (all 10,000 of em....) get together and sign a collective statement that says clearly and unequivocally that the use of the word sorry will be EXCLUDED as a basis from any legal or compensatory claims... I'd consider it
I mean if it aint about the money, what difference would it make...(yeah right)
