On 13th Feb 2023 -“It was right for prime minister #Rudd to make the apology in 2008. It’s right that we recognise the anniversary today,” #Dutton told parliament.

#Spud will say anything if he thinks there’s a vote in it.

Remember - #Dutton, then a shadow minister, infamously #boycotted #theapology delivered by Kevin Rudd. #StolenGeneration #auspol

The trailer looked good for this one but it was more talk than action. I don't like movies that are basically 2 people in a room for the entire film. #theapology #hulu #horror @horror @horrorfilm

Shudder Saturday: The Apology (2022)

Movies young and old, from fright flicks to cracking comedies, from the latest blockbusters to the rarest cult treats.

The mess continues to mess at an elite level—thank you, Bravo gods!

The Voice is not a Band-Aid, or a programme, a set of reforms… It is, merely & purely, a system whereby Indigenous Australians have a formal, recognised mechanism whereby their voice will be heard by parliament. It will not in & of itself improve outcomes; it will simply make it easier for Indigenous Australians to be consulted, making it so much more likely that Indigenous Australians will be a part of solutions, not merely seen as the problem. It will take much more than The Voice to ensure that constructive reforms & programmes are carried out & maintained effectively & in a timely fashion, but I believe The Voice is an important step. Dutton apologised again for his walking out on The Apology, stating that he saw it as tokenistic & failed to grasp the importance of its symbolism. He then went on to paint The Voice as tokenistic, lacking substance. Is not he in danger of doing exactly the same thing? Of failing to recognise the symbolic importance of this change to a more consultative system, where Indigenous Australians are seen as agents in, not objects of change. He spoke well, voicing acknowledgement of past wrongs & a need to address ongoing issues. But he still failed the need to listen to & partner with Indigenous Australians. Apologetic he might be, but paternalistic he remains. #TheVoice #TheApology
15 years ago, I was in Australian Parliament, watching Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations. Now, on the 15th anniversary of the apology to the Stolen Generations, the Albanese Government unveils $425 million Closing the Gap plan https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-02-13/closing-the-gap-plan-unveiled-425-million/101963816 via @ABCaustralia #theapology #closingthegap #voicetreatytruth #auspol #auslaw #IndigenousIP
On the 15th anniversary of the apology to the Stolen Generations, federal government unveils $425 million Closing the Gap plan

The federal government acknowledges there has been an "enormous failure" in attempts to close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, as it unveils a fresh national plan and hundreds of millions of dollars of funding.

@grryboy I just started watching #TheApology tonight. So love Anna Gunn.

#AWoundedFawn seemed somewhat unique in that even though there seems to be a "final girl" in Meredith, she actually lives on in the form of a Fury. And yeah, I had only a cursory knowledge of some literary/mythological references, but I could still watch and enjoy. I have had surreal art books re: Carrington et al and read a part of one of her novels but no real comprehensive knowledge of the whole mythology.

@MargaretSefton I think there are many voices speaking to abuse and requisite vigilance of men's behavior and potential for violence.

This is a key dialog taking place in recent movies like #TheApology, #LastNightInSoho and #Barbarian as well.

I had little to no understanding of the Greek mythological connections, so it definitely wasn't a requisite to understanding or enjoying the film.

@BellisColdwine Just finished watching it and wholeheartedly agree. Great to see a movie that treats its characters honestly and the subject seriously - it deserves to be more widely known. https://boxd.it/3BTYrN #TheApology #TheApologyFilm #movies #shudder
