INTERVIEW: Why Ellen says it's time to move past apologies

When you think about the Stolen Generations you might think it is ancient history. A chapter of Australia's past where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were forcibly removed from their families by the government and the Church. But First Nations children were still being removed from homes as recently as 1970 and for survivors, and their descendants, the trauma is something they live with every day. On Tuesday, Sorry Day, the government announced an additional $2.6 million in funding for organisations supporting the Stolen Generations. But survivors, and their descendants, say it's time for more action, and have called for the government to implement all the recommendations of the Bringing Them Home Report. The report was released in 1997 and made 83 recommendations designed to support healing, justice and reconciliation - nearly 30 years on the Healing Foundation says only 6 per cent have been fully implemented. In this week's long listen Worimi woman Ellen Karimanovic tells Dave what it was like to reconnect with family, why it's time for action not apologies, and why she's still hopeful for the future. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised this podcast references an Indigenous person who has died.
