Sorry cant come soon enough
By Luis Feliu
Priscilla Wightman of Lismore, a member of the stolen generation, will attend
the sorry ceremony at Parliament House in Canberra next Wednesday.
I was taken in 1960 from a mission in Moree. I was two years old so I dont
remember it
but I was told a gun was held at mummys head.

forced separation from her parents in the lead-up to next weeks national
apology by the federal government to members of Australias stolen generation.
