The significance of the apology in my opinion that it we as a nation can start to fix the problems you have just outlined which are the result of years of austrlaian government policy that has led to the aboriginal people being the most disavantaged group in the country. Throwing money at the them is not going to solve the anything because these are deep rooted social problems. The apology acknowledges the wrong that was done but more it means that the aboriginal people also have to now take some measure of responciability and work with the government so that we can fix the problems as a nation and not play the blame game. This will not be a quick fix but its a starting point were we hopefully begin to move on togeather it could take 50 years or more but it has to start somewere
