ABC, parliament, Fairfax and YouTube all have it up now, so fingers crossed you can see the whole thing on one. I ended up watching all the ALP reaction shots at the end again and again because I am a bit stalkery that way.
Couldn't actually watch Nelson. I've decided that he apologised and will work in the bipartisan effort and that is good and I will just ignore the rest.
I can see how reading that would be a solid kick. When I first arrived in Aus I used to tutor some Koori kids and also taught others swimming (yes, they did have long laughs at the idea of being taught to swim by a Pom. Until I did my swimming the length of an Olympic pool underwater in one breath trick. Wish I could still do that ...). The various Aunties ("Nah, call me Aunty ...")would regale me with stories that made me shiver, when they weren't taking the piss about my pallor and pluminess. My half-sister's ex is a Koori lad and her son is, too. The idea that thirty years was what stood between him and such risk was terrifying. The fact that there are still people who do not get this (I accidentally read what the talkback audiences were saying) is more so.
