Its taken decades of activism but Kevin Rudd finally had the courage to do what John Howard could not. He said sorry to the Aboriginal people of Australia for the centuries of ill treatment suffered by them since 1788. Broadly this includes the hunting, deliberate poisoning and infecting of various tribes as well as the 'stolen generation' of children taken from their families. This story was particularly well told in the film "Rabbit Proof Fence".
