Research has shown that most of us don't want money when the Government/Doctor/School/Mechanic/Shopkeeper etc screw up. Most of us just want some-one to acknowledge our pain. Some-one in authority to say "I'm very sorry that happened" Aborigine children were torn from their families , put in foster homes and made to assimilate - that's a very short version . A lot of the white people had the best of intentions but it was wrong and a lot of white Australians are very glad Kevin Rudd made that speech. I never thought I'd see it but it happened so ya never know Bart maybe Lizzie will apologise one day
