The apology was needed, but was it too late?

We find that the apology by the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was needed. A lot of people probably needed to feel some closure after so many years of suffering. That the Aborigines were stolen was a horrible thing, that shouldn’t have happened, and we find that it was important to apologize for the pain and suffering the aborigines have been through. Unfortunately the apology came too late. Too many years went by until the Australian government realized, that they couldn’t ignore the history and they had to apologize on behave of the people who let it happen. Of course the apology will still make a difference for some Aborigines, but for others it’s too late. Some Aborigines didn’t even live to experience the apology, because it came in 2008 –many years later.

We will might be able to avoid that something like this happens again in the future, because the apology and the Sorry Day make people aware of the Australian history and what happened.
