O Governo australiano pediu desculpa ontem, quarta-feira, no Parlamento, aos aborígenes pelos maus-tratos a que foram submetidos durante décadas.
Segundo um relatório dos anos 90, foram roubadas cerca de 100 mil crianças ao povo indígena da Austrália.
Today we honour the Indigenous peoples of this land, the oldest continuing cultures in human history.
We reflect on their past mistreatment.
We reflect in particular on the mistreatment of those who were Stolen Generations – this blemished chapter in our nation’s history.
The time has now come for the nation to turn a new page in Australia’s history by righting the wrongs of the past and so moving forward with confidence to the future.
We apologise for the laws and policies of successive Parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians.
We apologise especially for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, their communities and their country.
For the pain, suffering and hurt of these Stolen Generations, their descendants and for their families left behind, we say sorry.
To the mothers and fathers, the brothers and sisters, for the breaking up of families and communities, we say sorry.
And for the indignity and degradation thus inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture, we say sorry.
We the Parliament of Australia respectfully request that this apology be received in the spirit in which it is offered as part of the healing of the nation.
For the future we take heart; resolving that this new page in the history of our great continent can now be written.
We today take this first step by acknowledging the past and laying claim to a future that embraces all Australian.
A future where this Parliament resolves that the injustices of the past must never, never happen again.
A future where we harness the determination of all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to close the gap that lies between us in life expectancy, educational achievement and economic opportunity.
A future where we embrace the possibility of new solutions to enduring problems where old approaches have changed.
A future based on mutual respect, mutual resolve and mutual responsibility.
A future where all Australians, whatever their origins, are truly equal partners, with equal opportunities and with an equal stake in shaping the next chapter in the history of this great country.

«Pedimos desculpas especialmente por termos retirado as crianças às famílias, às comunidades e ao país. Pela dor e sofrimento a que foram submetidas estas gerações roubadas, os seus descendentes e as suas famílias, pedimos perdão», frisou o primeiro-ministro. Kevin Rudd, vencedor das eleições de Novembro, depois de ter prometido na campanha apresentar as desculpas da nação à comunidade aborígene, pediu ainda perdão «pelo atentado à dignidade e a humilhação infligida a um povo orgulhoso de si mesmo e da sua cultura»."
