Sorry.
Taking our guidance from Priscilla, we can do no better than to reprint this extract from Paul Keatings Redfern Speech, December 1997.
… The starting point might be to recognise that the problem starts with us non-Aboriginal Australians.
It begins, I think, with that act of recognition - recognition that it was we who did the dispossessing. We took the traditional lands and smashed the traditional way of life.
We brought the diseases. The alcohol.
We committed the murders.
We took the children from their mothers.
We practised discrimination and exclusion.
It was our ignorance and our prejudice. And our failure to imagine these things being done to us.
With some noble exceptions, we failed to make the most basic human response and enter into their hearts and minds.
We failed to ask - how would I feel if this were done to me?
As a consequence, we failed to see that what we were doing degraded all of us.
The ABC will be streaming the apology live at 9am. We will be tuned in.

The charity site Too Young to Work (TYTW) is now live, and it looks fantastic. TYTW is a registered Australian charity that aims to assist in the elimination of child labour in India through the provision of education.
TYTW currently supports three schools in India and is part of a broader network of 14 child labour schools supported by European non-government organisations (NGO) in the same regions. Approximately 2,500 child labourers are in attendance at these 14 schools.
The website was completed by us at no charge, one of a number of sites we have completed for free as a way of giving back to the community.

Where would you invest your money these days? From Gigaom:
“We’re now at a point that business plans really don’t matter,” said VC Randy Komisar of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. “It’s an iterative process of quickly getting your ideas into the hands of others.”
Scary stuff.
When even the VC’s have their heads so far in the clouds that they think business plans have become irrelevant, it is probably time to take your money out of tech stocks and stick it under the bed.
Wait for the crash, then buy back in.
