Ok, sry for misusing this tragic topic for making another silly joke.

Good for Australians that their courts show a sense of responsibility, but what to make of their government? “Prime minister John Howard’s government has refused to apologise for the Stolen Generation and resisted calls to set up a compensation fund.”
Shameful, absolutely shameful! Where is the public uproar down under?
