Prime Minister Julia Gillard's National Apology for Forced Adoptions, delivered in Canberra on Thursday.
Today, this Parliament, on behalf of the Australian people,
takes responsibility and apologises for the policies and practices that
forced the separation of mothers from their babies, which created a
lifelong legacy of pain and suffering.
2. We acknowledge the profound effects of these policies and practices on fathers.
3. And we recognise the hurt these actions caused to brothers and sisters, grandparents, partners and extended family members.
