On 13 Feb this year on behalf of the Australian nation, the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, said sorry (in Parliament) to the Indigenous people of Australia for all of the violence and discrimination done to them since the invasion of the white people. He set an example to the rest of the world in doing this and Australia has been commended for it by several other countries in the world.
