Do you not listen? He didn't apologise on behalf of the non-indigenous people of this country. Not at all. Only on behalf of the government and parliament. He didn't `presume' to speak for everyone in Australia in the slightest.
Your argument fails entirely on that point alone, but I suppose that would be terribly inconvenient for you to acknowledge.
