If I had to persuade the stubborn australian goovernment to make an official apology to the aboriginal people, I would start my argument with giving information about the stolen generation and how the government seperated indigenous families for around 50 years, just so they could naturally breed the native looks out of all of the children in Australia. After I would talk about how the British destroyed the land we used and turned it into farm and cities. I would also go deep back into the founding of Australia and remind them of the wars the British and the aboriginals fought in order to solve territorial disputes. This also includes how they spread the epidemic of small pox which destroyed many of the native race. All of these reasons of how the British ruined Australia and treated the aboriginals like savages, can be used to develope an argument on why the indigenous peopleshould recieve an apology.

This is very well written, I enjoyed your descriptions and the way you made the problem come to life. This made the rader consider the actions and see how horrible the settlers were to the aboriginal people. Good job! :D
