Honestly, where does this bloke get off? Why would you ask someone for an apology when he has refused it for years? Doesn't he also realise that if he were to make an apology now, it would in all likelihood be refused for Aboriginal Australia, because they would hardly be able to believe that he means it! So Mr Howard - the time has past - you were right - but not for the reasons you gave!
