Today the Australian Prime Minister, Mr. Kevin Rudd apologised on behalf of the nation to the Indigenous Australians. Everyone of course has an opinion on this event, some people agree with the Prime Minister’s apology and say that it was long overdue, some disagree on the grounds that the current government should not have to apologise for a previous governments actions.

I personally agree with the apology on the grounds that I think it will move us forward, enable us to tackle the important issues like health and education and in the eyes of the rest of the region, will remove the view that we were the ‘colonialists that won’, which in the past has hurt our trading relationship with many Asian nations that were previously colonized themselves. So to the Indigenous Australian’s, sorry for the past injustices.

Well I’ve spent the last day fixing some of the problems with my blog and I’m happy to announce that you will no longer be prompted in spanish to add comments. Other issues fixed include adding proper META tags in order for the website to be better identified by search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Alta Vista. I have also added geographical targeting to my domain meaning that it will now appear in Google as an Australian search result, which has resulted in the my humble blog appearing as the top search result if you search for ‘Matthew Kennedy’ in Google Australia. One thing that I’m still working on fixing is my RSS Feed which seems to be having all sorts of issues.
