Isn’t Mr. Rudd’s apology appropriate given his world view that there is a finite amount of success/wealth in the world? Isn’t Mr. Rudd just admitting that his success/wealth was stolen the Aborigines? So now Mr. Rudd has a choice… he can either give the wealth/success back to the rightful owners or he can apologize. I’m shocked, shocked I say!, that he chose the option that costs him nothing and conveniently leaves the impression that he has done something admirable.
