Why should generation x and y who weren't even alive when this happened pay them. Im not "sorry'', i wasn't alive when this happened so therefore its not my responsibility, its unfortunate yes but i don't see why we should pay for it. Say sorry as a government yes, but personally whats the point in being sorry. Its like germany having to be sorry for the holocaust today, they werren't even alive, so why apologise for something you didn't do? If im apologising for everything my ancestors did i'd go on for days.
Also, the aboriginal people just recieved over a billion dollars for nothing, im pretty sure they can tap into that, its like New Zealand, paying the natives for being natives, im sure they could build hospitals and such for that.
