Send a Sorry Day MessageThe National Indigenous Times newspaper (NIT) ran a special 'Sorry Day' section in it's May 26 edition (which coincides with National Sorry Day). "We're inviting all Australians - black and white - to submit a free message. It can be an apology, a comment, a hope or aspiration for the future, or even a message to the Prime Minister - basically it's your chance to send a message to the nation through NIT. NIT is available in most major newsagencies (in the ethnic section). SPECIAL SECTION: Our feature also includes a special 'Sorry' section for people named John Howard - we figure if 'the' John Howard won't apologise, then 'a' John Howard is better than nothing. If you know any John Howards, or even J. Howards, please forward this message on. Submissions are also encouraged from people named 'Vanstone' and/or 'Ruddock'.
