National Sorry Day On 26 May 2016, the 19th anniversary of the handing of the âBringing Them Homeâ report to Federal Parliament SANTS joined many others in Victoria Square/ Tarntanyangga to remember and to celebrate the journey of healing by Stolen Generations. On this Sorry Day, the crowd heard from the Chair of the Organising Committee, Lynette Croker, Deputy Lord Mayor Megan Hendra, Dwayne Coulthard from the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement (ALRM), Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Kyam Maher and Independent Assessor
for the Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme, John Hill. Minister Maher and Mr Hill spoke about the Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme, which has now started hearing from claimants and assessing compensation. Mr Hill encouraged community members to contact the ALRM if they would like advice on applying to the scheme. He said that around 200 people had approached the ALRM at that stage and it was expected that around 300 people would make applications to the scheme.
