3. You have to be joking...
This is the apology they are getting for genocide?
They are giving them the lowest form of reformation.
Slimy Australian government not much different from
our own present corrupt predominately old white male
elite government. What an atrocity across the board.
Stop Nuclear technology. It is not safe.
