We've just had the 10th anniversary of Kevin Rudd's bare-faced lies about 'stolen generations'. What he meant to do was to apologise that we had not done enough to rescue the racially abandoned children that tribesmen neglected because they weren't 'full' blood. Racist!
He failed to point out that there never had been policies to 'breed out' aboriginality, or to 'steal' children. It was the aboriginal communities that were toxic to children and if not sexually abusing them in the tribe, were letting them to vagrant whites to do the job instead.
No 'stolen' generation, only 'rescued' ones, and we didn't have the nerve to even do that properly.
