I sat on the train on the way to work this morning after staying at home to watch the live broadcast of the PM's apology to the stolen generations. As the train pulled out of Richmond station, I saw a woman walking on the platform with a yellow and red scarf around her neck. Seated behind me on the train were two young children with their mum, eating kit kats. They were dressed in their school uniform and wearing badges depicting the aboriginal flag. It was a gloomy, grey Melbourne morning but there was definitely a feeling of joy and optimism in the air.
