The Hobart Chronicles XXXXII: From Little Things

Blackfella, whitefella
Doesn't matter what your colour
As long as you're a true fella
- Warumpi Band, 1987

From little things
Big things grow
- Kev Carmody, Paul Kelly, 1991

Stand up, stand up and be counted
- Warumpi Band, 1987

Sorry. What a great word.

But, if anything moved me more than hearing Rudd's Sorry speech to the Stolen Generations in Federal Parliament on Wednesday, it was the moving Welcome to Country to open Parliament on Tuesday.

The first step on the road forward.
