Which Prime Minister delivered The Apology in 2008 and used the phrase 'Let us turn this page together'?

• A. Paul Keating
• B. Kevin Rudd
• C. John Howard
• D. Malcolm Turnbull

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is recognizing who gave the formal national apology in 2008 and the message they used to frame it. Kevin Rudd delivered the Apology to the Stolen Generations in the Australian Parliament on 13 February 2008. In that speech he invited all Australians to move forward together, saying “Let us turn this page together.” The phrase emphasizes a shared responsibility to acknowledge past harms and begin a new chapter of reconciliation and inclusion.

Context helps: the Apology was a formal expression from the Australian government to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for the policies that led to the removal of children from their families. It marked a significant moment in Australian history, signaling a commitment to healing and partnership.

The other leaders listed were not the ones who delivered this particular Apology. The 2008 event is specifically associated with Kevin Rudd and his call for moving forward together with reconciliation.
