Wow. While i think the apologies are silly and dont do anything they do serve a purpose for the governments. They save money. By apologising it absolves them of doing anything financially to help the ppl that are being apologised to. I would think you of all ppl would approve of that.

Meanwhile a true heartfelt apology when someone has been wronged is not a "sign of weakness".

SOB

The government also pledged over $10 million to assist victims of these cruel policies.

Well, after apologising to the Aboriginals, the government still pumps millions of dollars into the 'industry'.

I've never heard of an apology absolving responsibility - perhaps you could give some examples?

Political  Atheists like Tony Abbott must change...meally mouthed appologies are not enough, they must renounce fully their abuses and recognize that none of us are their possessions or properties and that they as leaders must be our servants and not our masters...They must cease abusing children, abusing mothers and abusing the natural bond between mother abnd child.  The State atheists must renounce child abduction, they must desist from all policies that discriminate against the poor with suitable employment and training oportunities and they must renounce the atheistic bigotry of Darwin, Marx, Mao, Hitler, Lenin and Pol Pot.  Australian people are not their consumers and the mothers are not the receopticals of their economic property.  Its time to put Jesus CFhrist front and centre in the Government and respect and care for the poor as God says they are fully entitled to be cared for with decent work and socia security.  No longer can we tolerate the waste and the injustices and the wars of State Atheism...

I applaud your sincerity and concern for others

However, whilst I believe Christianity in particular produces a more ethical society, it's also responsible for many ills.  Six of one, half a dozen of the other, therefore

For example, in the early 70s, one of our junior employees related the tale of her older sister. The older sister fell pregnant to her long-term boyfriend.  The girls' mother, a devout Roman Catholic, reported the boy, who was imprisoned for 'carnel knowledge'

His girlfriend gave birth to their child under .. obviously .. the most traumatic of circumstances, exacerbated by her Roman Catholic mother who laid a heavy guilt trip on the girl and then forced the girl to sign over the child for adoption

The boy emerged from prison.  Married his girlfriend once they were of age.  They had four further children.  And spent years trying to find their first child which had been adopted

Lost track of our young employee, so don't know if that young couple was ever able to find their stolen child or even to reunite with it

No apology, from any of the 'adults' involved, could diminish one hundredth of one percent of their enduring suffering.  Nor could any belated apology, four plus decades later, from any mealy mouthed politician

In this adoption debacle the players are:

(1) The mother biological mothers
(2) The adoptive mothers

(3) The biological fathers
(4) The adoptive fathers

(5) The children

The ranking does not reduce their importance

After reading through Gillard's speech and Abbott's speech - I note one glaring difference

Abbott's speech acknowledge the adoptive mothers and fathers. They are as much a victim in this as the birth/biological mothers

The adoptive parents (most of them) are loving parents who extended their home, family and financial resources to these children. Yet not one word of acknowledgement from our PM

Abbott's wordings were badly done but his intention is inclusive.
