Julia Gillard's adoption apology comes after an abyss of trauma | Andie Fox | Comment is free | theguardian.com: The national apology was one of the more beautiful and principled speeches given by a prime minister in Australia. "We deplore the shameful practices that denied you, the mothers, your fundamental rights and responsibilities to love and care for your children. You were not legally or socially acknowledged as their mothers. And you were yourselves deprived of care and support. To you, the mothers who were betrayed by a system that gave you no choice and subjected you to manipulation, mistreatment and malpractice, we apologise."?EVIL KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES?
