The recent Rudd Government apology to the Stolen Generations has been viewed by many as a significant step in the reconciliation process. To what extent does the apology mark the beginning of a new relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians? Where do we need to go from here? This dialogue will provide an opportunity to engage with leading indigenous thinkers on these issues.
