From Times Wire Reports
Australia will issue its first formal apology to the country’s indigenous people next month, a senior minister said.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin said the apology for past wrongs against Australia’s so-called stolen generation of Aborigines would be the first item of business for the new Labor-dominated Parliament on Feb. 13.
“The apology will be made on behalf of the Australian government and does not attribute guilt to the current generation of Australian people,” Macklin said in a statement.
