- A day observed on 26 May to remember and acknowledge the pain of the Stolen Generations
- A day when parliament formally apologises for past legislation
- A day when Australians apologise for environmental damage
Why this is the correct answer
National Sorry Day has been observed every 26 May since 1998, giving communities across Australia an opportunity to acknowledge the pain inflicted on the Stolen Generations and their descendants. It is a day of remembrance and healing, not a public holiday.
