How effective was the apology speech in encouraging positive race relations in Australia?
The apology speech delivered by then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in 2008 was a significant moment in Australian history, acknowledging the injustices faced by Indigenous Australians, particularly the Stolen Generations. It was largely effective in fostering dialogue and promoting reconciliation, as it marked a formal recognition of past wrongs. Many Indigenous Australians and their supporters viewed it as a step towards healing and improving race relations. However, while it sparked positive discussions, ongoing challenges in achieving true equality and addressing systemic issues remain.
Why did it take so long to apologize to the Aboriginal?
Let me first say this is purely my opinion, I am not a politician so cannot give the absolute answer as to the workings of political parties. I think that governments previous to the Rudd Labour Government were probably afraid of the financial implications that could be felt after apologising, which could be seen as an admission of guilt. Once you admit guilt for an act, you could be held liable for compensation. Governments did not want to be responsible for the misdeeds of earlier generations of government. However, the apology given by Kevin Rudd had no admission of illegality or negligence according to lawyers, as the acts committed against the Aboriginal people were legal at the time they happened.
