[QUOTE="slsh, post: 127338, member: 8"] Very interesting, Marg. I have a question.... seems like I read recently .... oh, what was it? Something about welfare and aborigine families having to give up their children to get welfare, or not being able to get welfare because they were aborigine??? It's been in the last 6 months or so... it was backed up by some "study" citing incidence of abuse and worse in aboriginal families, especially those in remote areas??? I'm probably getting it all wrong, but I was wondering if this apology will change that recent policy? Just curious. I have very fond memories of Australia in '76 - we were out at Ayer's Rock (is it Uluru now?) and we went on a tour in Alice Springs.... aboriginal artwork, music, dance... I remember being just fascinated by their spirituality and walkabouts. We had a fabulous guide, very tolerant of us Americans (my dad thought casual attire was suit and tie, LOL). [/QUOTE]
