The news that Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said 'sorry' three times to the Aborigines for the Stolen Generation is extremely good and makes me so happy.

But what is even more astonishing is that he also announced new plans to give aborigines constitutional recognition as the original owners of Australia.
For a country that at the moment doesn't have any parliamentary representative among the aborigines (who account for 2% of the population) this is a remarkable step.
The new left government in Australia is already sure to go down to history.
