I can't understand how it can possibly be a mistake to apologise. And if your reasoning is all the compensation hype bullsh*t, then that's a real shame. That kind of rubbish propaganda is all The West Australian fed on for days after the apology. Made me feel sick to live in this state - and that's not the first time.

Rudd is a friggin legend. A politician who actually does what he says he will. Amazing.
