Nothing at all to do with Technology

Today, Australia's new Government, under the leadership of Kevin Rudd, formally apologised to the Stolen Generations [1]. What struck me about the apology was how natural it seemed, and how right it sounded. After such a long time watching the previous Government ducking the issue and playing a mean and tricky semantic game with the words, saying "Sorry" was the right thing to do.

However, as symbolic as the words are, they will not mean a thing unless they are backed up by real actions and bipartisan political support. I wonder if that's what we will see?
