Today marks the anniversary of Kevin Rudd’s 2008 National Apology. An acknowledgment of the deep harm caused by policies that tore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families.
 
This moment in history was meant to open a path toward truth, healing, and accountability. But remembrance also means facing the reality that many of the injustices still echo through our communities today.
 
Reflection alone isn’t enough. Real change demands commitment, action, and a willingness to confront the systems that continue to fail our people.
 
Today we honour the resilience and strength of survivors and families who continue to carry deep trauma caused by these policies.
