As Being A Forgotten Australian One Of The Many Many Many Out Their ,

I Can Only Hope That This Apology Will State The Abuses We Victims Suffered And Not Leave Out Any Details About What We Victims Suffered In These State And Territories Institutions And Orphanages And Girls And Boys Homes, State And Territories Ward Homes, Foster Homes, State Run Church Homes, Church Homes, Shelters,Out Of Home Care, And The List Goes On .

We Are The Real Victims The Goverment Have Kept Secret About For Far Too many Years , And On The 16th November 2009 The Australian History Books Will Have Us Finally Acknowledged And No More A Goverment Secret, And Will Be Australia's History Of The Uncovered Secret Of Us Victims.

And It Would Be Good To Hear Mr Rudd Say In His Speech To All Those Victims Of The Forgotten Australians. Where The Courts Have Thrown Their Cases Out Will Automatically Re Open These Cases And Give Those Victims The Right Justice And Over Turn Those Judges Dissions, Of Which Many Many Many Victims Have Been Raped By The Justice System Its Self In Protecting The The States And Territories Of Australia.

Will It Give You Some Closure And Help You Move Forward?

Dear huffnpuff (Michael),

Your day has come at last and I trust
that it will prove to be everything
that you have waited for.

Forgiveness is not always easy. At times,
it feels more painful that the wound suffered,
to forgive the ones who inflicted it.

And yet, there is no peace without forgivenss.
Attack thoughts toward others are attacks on
yourself. The first step in forgiveness is the
willingness to forgive.

May the apology that you'll be given begin the
journey for you to a deep and unshakable peace.

My thoughts will be with you on the day.

Would it give you closure ? it would never do it for me.
Huffnpuff hurts, in every post we see that hurt.
One of how many?
How many got raped bashed abused?
How many got lent out on Sunday to pedophiles? time and again?
Yes we each should not ask that anyone forget.
Not fail to understand so very many lives have been destroyed forever.
Huffnpuff it is your day I hope you get what you want, and one day if you can will you tell some here about your horrible dreadful life in the hands of such awful people.
Thinking of you today mate

By all means an apology is a good gesture. But, why not go a step further while the opportunity exists & apologise for ALL State & Federal Govt. injustice dished out by the Public Service past, present & future.

Nothing could give full closure of the hurt of these as well as myself, one can only hope to give children of the future a better chance then all this hurt may have been for SOMETHING.
This will never be though unless they that perportrated said offences are finally prosecuted expecially those that have continued with the same proceedures while all this has been leading to these "Apologies"

What I wrote for the Indigenous "Apology"

Yes,a tear was shed
But easy wiped away
Where are those tears that were shed
Are they here today
Those tears are gone
And are of the past
Shed in falsehood they could never last
While a child yearns for his family true
Those tears were shed for nothing NEW

Michael I just hope you have a better outcome than I
All the best
From Dave
