It's not about feeling guilty. It's about finding a way to move forward from the difficult past faced by both indigenous and non indigenous people. It's a step towards the unification of all Australians.
The speaches in parliament were just broadcast and both sides of the house were unified in their words and actions.
Today is a new day in the history of Australia. My only hope personally is that the new government and the opposition have begun as they mean to go on.
