Today is National #sorryday. The anniversary of the 1997 Bring Them Home report into the removal of Aboriginal children from families. 22 years later and Aboriginal kids are still being removed from families and communities at disgraceful rates. Time for Aboriginal-led solutions. pic.twitter.com/7Iuc3Ut73A

Today is National #SorryDay. It’s a time when I think of all those young children and all those parents who suffered extreme loss at the hands of racist Government policy. My heart goes out to those who never found their way home and those who are still searching. #SorryDay2019 pic.twitter.com/MHREVaiLQC

It National #SorryDay2019. Aboriginal kids are still being removed from their family and community; and imprisonments of our men, women and kids is still ridiculously too high. Be sorry but do more to change that shit. https://t.co/mJaqrpGpwg

#SorryDay2019 The continuing practice of forcible removal of children from Aboriginal families is, in my opinion, a genocidal act

Hearing from Aunty Hazel of Grandmothers Against Removals on the pain of losing our black kids to the foster care and adoption system. She’s calling on state and federal government to put an end to the ongoing genocide of our people today. #gmar #sorryday pic.twitter.com/e3BpWcehnJ
