Any cynicism about Australia's much-vaunted apology to aboriginal and Islander people who were "stolen" from their families and raised in institutions or by white families dissipated soon after sun-up Wednesday morning. That's how the complex questions of post-Reformation theology were settled in outback Australia in the 1930s," said [Kevin Rudd], himself a committed Christian. These hideous histories that Rudd openly admits have "blighted our nation's soul" had to be confronted in some form.

As a flotilla of British ships sailed off Australia's East Coast on the morning Jan. 26, 1788, preparing to make landfall, a young lieutenant, Ralph Clark, noted along the shoreline "a great number of fires and a few natives. While [Kevin Rudd] lauded [Mick Dodson]'s lifetime devotion to uniting black and white Australia, Dodson, a self-described "persistent bugger," took less than half an hour to throw up a proposition almost certain to divide it. Within an hour Rudd's office ruled out the proposal in a diplomatically worded statement making it crystal clear that while Dodson was truly worthy recipient of the Australian of the Year award: "The government has no plans to and will not be changing the date of Australia Day or the name of Australia Day."

Ever since 1887, when our talented but often inebriated poet Henry Lawson' called on Australians to choose between "the land that belongs to the Lord and the Queen and the land that belongs to you," the idea of opting to become a republic has stirred romantic hearts. Back in England the speech was immediately interpreted as a fond farewell to the brooch, the colony and the whole shooting match: "The Queen signalled for the first time that she accepts Australia may one day become a republic," reported the Daily Mail, a royalist newspaper. Later, in another interview, he said "We are merely doing what we consider to be, as a family, our duty here by Australians" and then made it graphically clear he wouldn't consider a republic any great loss.
