Apology will remove 'blight on nation's soul'
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd says next week's parliamentary apology to the Stolen Generations will remove a ``blight on the nation's soul'' and has the overwhelming support of Australians.
``For whatever damage that was caused to any human being and for any offense felt, especially to any of the candidates or their families, I am deeply sorry, and I pray that my apology will be accepted even by those who say they won't accept it,'' said Pfleger, whose comments at Trinity were first aired on YouTube.
