Kevin Rudd said sorry to the Aboriginals for the Stollen Generation.

The Stollen Generation was where the Aboriginal children were taken away from their homes and they had to go to schools to be taught the 'right way' or the 'Australian' way. Kevin Rudd also said sorry for taking their land. Captain cook was the first Australian to go on Australia but he wasn't the first one. The first people were the Aboriginals. Captain COok just INTRODUCED the kland to Australians and now the Australians think the country is theirs which is why Kevin Rudd apologised.

I hope my answer was reasonable, enjoy!!!
