What significant moment in indigenous history occurs this week?

The significant moment that occurs in indigenous history is Kevin Rudd apologising to the indigenous peoples of australia and all the terror that they have been through. He will appologise to the stolen generation and the current aborignial people of australia, he will also ensure that it will never happen again.

The person i have chosen as my inspiring person is australian cricket player Mathew Hayden. Mathew is an opening batter for the australian cricket team and of one the best in the world. He breifly held the world record for most runs in a test match with 380 until brian lara took over again with 400 not out. An agressive left hand batsman who made his test debut in 1994 against south africa.

I consider Mathew hayden to be inspiring because even after all the attension and the cricket he still has time for his faith. He goes to church every sunday, if there is a match on that day he would go on saturday night. He is also loves to cook and loves to write cook books which his daughter is very proud of. He doesnt show off to publicity and has lots of sympethy to others. He is a very respectful batsmen.
