The motion by Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister, in the Parliament on 13
February 2008 contained the word "Sorry" three times. It contains
344 words, using 173 different words. I created a concordance index
of the words in the apology. Web workers will be more familiar with
this as a "tag cloud": <http://www.tomw.net.au/papers/apology.shtml>.
It might be interesting to compare this with the Apology to the
Aboriginal People by John Howard, to see how similar they are
