On 14 June, when the Prime Minister announced that this Government will issue a formal apology to the Pacific communities for the harms, trauma, racism, and prejudice that occurred during the 1970s, we literally opened up the floodgates of a sea of wave after wave after wave of emotion. I, in my role of supporting that announcement, was struggling to try and control my own emotions, because that announcement hit home because it's so personal to me and my family, but my story is one of many stories. I recall Dominic Godfrey on that day also struggled with his emotion, and he was a member of the press gallery. But the emotions have flowed out like a stream and have touched every corner of our Pacific diaspora. It has also touched family members who reside in the Pacific region. It has touched Pacific peoples in other parts of the world, who all recollect now the stories, many of them still emerging.
