Perkins' role in this action propelled him to a position as a national Aboriginal leader and spokesman, a position he held until his death Kevin Rudd sorry speech 13 February 2008 was a formal apology from the government to the aboriginal people apologising for the removal of children from their families and the previous laws which were in place for many years. He also included that there will be a positive future for aboriginal Australians with equal opportunities and treatment for all. No one ever thought of that the Indigenous people should have rights equal to themselves. The thought was unheard of. A prominent woman in the lead up to the referendum in 1967 was Faith Bandler.
Rudd states that the family was required to leave the farm amidst financial difficulty between two to three weeks after the death, though the family of the landowner states that the Rudds didn't have to leave for almost six months. Rudd boarded at Marist College Ashgrove in Brisbane, although these years were not happy due to the indignity of poverty and reliance on charity; he was known to be a "charity case" due to his father's sudden death. He has since described the school as "tough, harsh, unforgiving, institutional Catholicism of the old school". Despite this he gained a batchelor’s degree in Asian studies at the Australian National University in Canberra Mr. Rudd and his wife Therese met at University and were married in 1981. They are the proud parents of Jessica who is married to Albert, Nicholas who is married to Zara, and Marcus.
Fight for Native Title: Mabo’s case triumphs Mabo v Queensland (no.2) 1992 On June 3rd 1992, five Murray Islanders home to the Torres Strait Islands in Australia held a legal action against the Government of Queensland in order to claim recognition of the rights to the use, enjoyment and occupancy of their traditional land which had been stolen off them prior to the annexation by the defending government. The judgments made by the High Court of Australia, initiated the legal doctrine of ‘native title’ into the Australian law, which was in favour of the plaintiffs bringing the case to court. This recognized that the Indigenous Australians did in fact have ownership to the possession of the land that was referred to as “terra nullius”, nobody’s

In the 1800 a lots of countries explored the world in a race who could find new lands first and settle, but as the race went on, they countries didn´t gave the aboriginals a chance, the took theme as slaves, killed them if they didn´t obey the white man´s word, but is this okay? A normal civilized man today would says that it´s not, but still the Australians celebrates Australian day as a national day, when in fact this day for nearly 100 years ago there was a massacre on the people how are the rightful owner of the country, that the white people came and “discovered”. Through an analyse of to text how has different opinion about the subject, I will try to understand this subject better. The first text called “the white man´s burden” is
Rudd, who won power last November, made an apology part of his election manifesto but has ruled out financial reparations. Yesterday, as part of the new era, Aborigines danced and sang at the opening of the Australian parliament and Aboriginal elder Matilda House gave a traditional greeting to MPs and senators gathered for the new parliamentary session. Rudd conceded: "It's taken us 41 parliaments to get here. Sometimes we are a bit slow." The Aboriginal Stolen Generation The Stolen Generation[->0] has had a traumatic effect on Aboriginal people, their identities and links with their Aboriginal culture.
My parents were Kanju people from Cooktown, they gave birth to me at Durundur Reserve near Woodford in 1905. When I was four I was taken from my parents and removed to Barambah Reserve near Murgon, in the south-east of Queensland. This reserve was where I grew up and became the cricketer who I once was. Living on a reserve wasn't at all fun, the Aborigines Protection Act controlled our every move, it controlled where and how all Aborigines in Queensland could live and as a royal commission put it, to "smooth the dying pillow" of a "race doomed to extinction." As you can see we Aboriginals were "out of sight, out of mind.” We were used as agricultural labour on white-owned rural properties for little or no wages.
In this, he said “[the] government first must take responsibility for addressing their past failures in Indigenous affairs […]” Note the reference to ‘past’ failures. What he failed to mention during that speech was a report released by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) which monitored the progress of ‘Closing the Gap’ until June 2009. The report found that there was a clear indication that ‘Closing the Gap’ was a failure. The biggest issue the government tried to deal with is the 17-year gap of life expectancy between Aboriginals and Non-Indigenous Australians. Sadly statistics have shown since the Rudd government came to power, only 44% of Aboriginals are considered to be in good health and this has not changed since 2002.
in the essay ``it`s Over, Debbie a gynecology resident described ending the life of a 20-year-old cancer patient. But Fitzgerald said it was ``merely speculative`` whether the mercy killing actually occurred and, if it occurred in Cook County. The ruling was hailed Friday by the editor of the AMA journal, Dr. George Lundberg as setting a precedent that confirms that scientific and medical journals have the same fully freedom of the press as enjoyed by newspapers, television and other popular media.But State`s Atty. Richard M. Daley said the quashing of the subpoena``comes at a price each citizen of this country will have to individually assess`It was important to seek the identity of the person who authored the`Debbie` essay because the article appears to be a confession to murder. Even more disturbing, it is an unrepentant confession by one who justifies the murder of another human being.``
After taking a physical before the 1991-92 NBA season, Magic received news that changed his life forever. In a press conference held on November 7, 1991, Johnson made a public announcement that he would retire immediately after discovering he had been tested positive for HIV. Magic put a very public face on something many then considered a death sentence. In an article from CBS NEWS, AIDS researcher Dr. David Ho explained, "In 1991, about 10 years into the known epidemic, there were still only a few medications that could be used to treat HIV infections, so most people went on to to die within a few years of diagnosis. And Magic Johnson felt no different from anybody else."
