Noun
Sorry Day (plural Sorry Days)
An annual event held in Australia on 26 May, since 1997, to commemorate the mistreatment of the continent's indigenous population.
Sorry Day falls on the eve of Reconciliation Week, giving us the chance to ask whether we are making progress in the wider challenge of reconciling Indigenous and other Australians. Malcolm Fraser
Last year the National Sorry Day Committee consulted with stolen generations people in every State and Territory, and concluded that programmes set up in response to the Bringing Them Home Report are reaching only a small fraction of those they are intended to help. Malcolm Fraser
