Reconciliation Australia co-chair Mick Dodson says today's apology from the Federal Parliament has kick-started the healing process for not just the Stolen Generations but the country's race relations, which he says are in tatters. Mr Dodson, who led the Bringing Them Home inquiry with Sir Ronald Wilson, says compensation must be part of that process.
