High time, too

Australia is finally owning up to its poor treatment of its aboriginal people:
"Australia is preparing to issue its first formal apology for past mistreatment of the country's Aboriginal people. The declaration by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will be the first act of the new government when the Australian parliament reopens in Canberra on February 13. It will acknowledge injustices suffered by Aborigines in the years after European colonization that began in the late 1700s."

Rico says we didn't do much better with our aboriginal peoples here in the States, but at least the Apaches and Comanches and a few other tribes gave as good as they got...
