Response - Ethics and Earth Responsibility

 We join in recognition of the Australian government apology for the policies relating to the Stolen Generation of Aboriginal peoples, with a mixture of deep relief and respect for a long overdue gesture towards reconciliation and healing, accompanied by hope for policies for restoration and renewal for Aboriginal communities and peoples.  Such hope is not accompanied by policy directions at this stage, but for those who have done so much to bring this symbolic event about, and who will continue to work for justice.  We applaud your work and extend solidarity. Celebration of this momentous dayis infused with historical reflection and grief.
