SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - FEBRUARY 13: The Aboriginal and Australian flags are seen flying near the Sydney Opera House on the day Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered an apology to the Aboriginal people for injustices committed over two centuries of white settlement on February 13, 2008 in Sydney, Australia. Rudd's apology referred to the 'past mistreatment' of all Aborigines, singling out the 'Stolen Generations', the tens of thousands of Aboriginal children taken from their families by governments between 1910 and the early 1970s, in a bid to assimilate them into white society.

在歐洲移民踏上大洋洲土地225年後,澳洲议会下院通過一項法案,正式承認原住民是澳洲最早的居民。此舉為舉行旨在修改憲法的全民公投掃清了障礙。修改後的憲法將賦予原住民特殊地位。在澳洲,对憲法的任何修改都必須經過公投來決定。原住民在澳洲被认為是最弱勢的群體,在該國各族群中,他們的平均壽命最短,而嬰幼兒死亡率卻是最高的。5年前,澳洲总理陸克文(Kevin Rudd)首次為原住民在過去受到的歧視和不公待遇表示道歉。
