        D'ya reckon we should apoligise too?

        As the former colonial power until the Australian colonies came together as a federation in 1901, Britain should also apologise for Aboriginal children being sent to foster families and institutions, said prominent human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, QC.

        Mr Robertson, an Australian based in London, said Britain bore a "heavy historic responsibility" because colonial authorities had created an office known as the Protector of Aborigines, which oversaw the removal of mixed-race children.

        The policy was based on the belief that “full-blood” Aborigines would eventually die out and that “half-caste” children could be integrated into white society. Aboriginality would be bred out over successive generations by pairing indigenous women with white men.

          How long before the indians do the same to the cowboys in good ole US of A?

          Also, am I the only one that hates how the yanks call the USA "America". Surely it must wind up the south americans and canadians too?

            Probably, but they'll have to go to the back of the queue.
