John Howard:
(My understanding)
Vote for me, and ill recognise Aboriginies in the Australian constituion.
But, you have to vote for me!
Nothing sickens me more than when a man turns on his stirnest position in the face of desperation.
I know there's a small number of Aussies on this board, and gday to you all.
Im sure you've all noticed the desperation written all over John Howards face.
He's stalling with elections, he's using such petty acts like a strip club visit to disgrace his opposition, creating dirt files on people..... but
his latest ploy, seems to stink of absolute desperation.
MILLIONS of Australians will never entertain saying sorry to Aborigines because they think there is nothing to apologise for, John Howard said
today.
Meanwhile the Prime Minister stood his ground over his refusal to say "sorry" for the act of removal of the children from their parents, because
it would leave the Federal Government open to compensation claims, he said.
Why say sorry? As HREOC states, "An apology acknowledges that wrong has been done, and attempts to make amends to those who have suffered."
BUT NOW?
When the elections about to be called, and when he's being FLOGGED in the polls.. he decides, in the 11th hour... to turn around on his stubborn
non-apologetic mood.. to offer
Mr Howard has committed a re-elected Coalition government to a referendum to recognise indigenous people in a preamble to the Constitution in
pursuit of a new Aboriginal reconciliation based on "equity rather than apologies".
What a pathetic attempt Mr Howard,
You take indigenous people to be completely morons?
You dont think they remember you ignoring the MASSIVE March across Sydney harbour bridge?
You think they are going to vote for you now?
I look foward to seeing you walk away from your podium, a sorry, sad lonley beaten man!
