So, how has Australia's national "sorry" day turned out?
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd's national apology to the stolen generation has sparked a spate of racial violence in Darwin.Five people had to be admitted to hospital after one brawl. The Caucasian men were attacked by a group of 10 Aboriginal men, who demanded that their victims "say sorry".
A 28-year-old [Northern] Territory woman watched helplessly as her friend was king-hit and kicked to the ground outside a Darwin 24-hour eatery on Sunday morning. She said three men ran at them from across the road, when they looked at the group yelling at two women.
"They just started king-hitting him. They got him on the ground and then two others came over and started kicking him," she said.
"They kept screaming that we were not sorry at all - 'Say sorry to us'. You just couldn't stop them."
The woman and her friend managed to escape to a police station where other victims of racial violence congregated. She says a police officer told her that, since last week’s national apology, "it had been completely out of control".
