THE long-awaited apology was finally delivered but comments made by Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson raised the ire of some of the crowd.

Inside Parliament House, members of the stolen generation wept as Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered the Sorry motion.

Outside, a huge crowd – including hundreds of Aboriginal people – stood silently as the apology was read.

However, after Mr Rudd's speech, there was anger at Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson's comments that many children were removed "with the best of intentions".

What is an apology without any sense of responsibility or regret? Nelson as good as walked over and dumped on the apology while supporting the motion. Playing politics! Geeeesch.
