The apology that everyone was waiting for came with much celebration and positive emotion. Although I heard it reported that some at Redfern's "The Block" watching on a big screen turned there backs and/or booed when Opposition Leader, Brendon Nelson, got up to make his reply. I think this is poor form and takes the shine off what was supposed to be an historical day, well it still is as people will hopefully forget about this rogue element.
Perhaps it wasn't Nelson's place to mention anything about a compensation fund as he is not in government, but just because he was part of the previous government does that give a free license for disrespect? I get the feeling that voting out John Howard rather comprehensively still isn't enough for some people.
