...All of us are diminished...
Gough Whitlam, Prime Minister of Australia, 1972-1975:
'All of us are diminished while Aboriginal peoples are denied their rightful place in this nation. ...Australia's treatment of her Aboriginal people will be the thing upon which the rest of the world will judge Australia and Australians not just now, but in the greater perspective of history.'
