I don't stand here as a parliamentarian, or as the Crown, to apologise. I stand here as a fellow target, as my sister has put it. We have all endured the disrespect and the smoothing of the pillows of a dying race as history has etched. They took our lands. They took our foreshore. They continue to take our babies. But one thing we can never allow them to do is take our hearts, our minds, and our spirits.
