Institutions and particularly aristocratic systems are different. The Australian government did some terrible stuff, the Australian still exists so the Australian government should apologise. As I said in the post, Aristocracies are based on the concept that the off-spring inherit the honours of their fore-bearers. So, it's not acceptable to take the good and refuse to responsibility for the bad.

Individuals should not be held accountable for the actions of their parents, but institutions are different.
