All but to be deified by you.

Nelson's was a speech by a politician; Rudd's went way beyond and gave all Aus a feeling in time and place beyond all imaginations. Why fight it, get it.

Recently declared a legend by both sides. Menzies stature grew with time as his good government contrasted with poor governments that followed. Same will happen to Howard, and rightfully so.

Perhaps we should allow Aboriginese to kidnap, sorry, re-locate white children in dysfunctional famillies for 50 or 60 years and integrate them into good homes and then let them say "sorry"? Could you imagine the size of the payouts? Nice one again, Lucy.

It makes a big difference that Howard is gone. It's obvious now that it was mainly Howard who strongly opposed the apology. Without his influence, there is the potential for big changes in the Coalition and this should be encouraged. I agree with Thomas. It makes a big difference that Howard is gone.

Howard is gone and it is nice to see people like Abetz finally opening up. We can carp about their silence for 11 years, but it's childish to make that central to the discussion.

"Dude! Minchin doesn't want to eat Aboriginal babies! Kudos!" I mean, it was unusually self-aware of him, but this isn't about the Libs.

We should not also forget that this has occurred for two reasons. One is Rudd's initiative and the other is the release provided them by Howard's disappearance.
