Sorry Day

So what do people think of the apology? It seems all right for politician speak to me, though the phrase "mutual responsibility" reminds me a little too much of Centrelink and all it's badness. Anyway, about time.

I got given a little purple flower from work reception to wear as I went out to lunch, it's quite pretty. Though they got the url wrong on the back (they forgot the ".au"), someone's getting in trouble for that :)

My first thought was it's "nice". It covered most of the bases, and said the key word that everyone focused on (sorry) several times. It also managed to say sorry without committing or promising anything.

My only other thought is that I really don't understand why the Liberals were getting so worked up over this. Given the apology didn't say much they'd rather loose the election then say the little that was said. They could've left out the last part if they wanted.

Now we get to see what sort of spin is applied...
